Windows Vista and Nvidia Go 7200

Thread Starter 
I am looking at buying the new HP dv2000t, but before I do I want to make sure the graphics card, the Nvidia GeForce Go 7200 with 32 MB discrete video memory and up to 96 MB shared memory would be able to run Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate. Also, if I only get 1 gig RAM, and part of that is being used by the GPU, will this prevent me from running all the features of Windows Vista?

Anyone out there with the dv2000t or a similar configuration run the windows upgrade advisor and know if it will work or not?

Thanks for the help.

As far as I can tell, HP only offers the 32 MB version of the 7200 for the dv2000t. But what you are saying is that as long as their is 128 MB available for graphics memory, Windows Vista Ultimate will run, correct?

Thanks for the help.

Is my last statement correct? Vista Premium will run as long as you have 128 MB for video memory?

i have a dv2000t, and the spec of the 7200Go is 32 DEDICATED and 96 shared off of the ram, but its reserved. I suppose the latency for the swaping pagefiles between the laptops ram w/ the vid card will be a lot more lag than just haveing straight up 128MB dedicated.

But these dv2000t are listed as Vista Capable, so i dun realy kno wahts up
