The following section of your feedback is focused on your computer hardware and will provide you with the information that you need to ensure that your PC can reliably run the features you've selected. If any hardware upgrades are required for your computer, we will indicate them below.
| Upgrade your graphics adapter |
To get the Windows Aero™ user interface, you will need a graphics adapter that either has 128MB of dedicated Video RAM or uses shared memory.
Your current graphics adapter has 32.00 MB of dedicated memory. |
| Support for Pixel Shader 2.0 is required and your current graphics adapter does not support this. |
| Support for 32bits per pixel. Your current graphics adapter supports this. |
| Support for DirectX 9 is required. Your current graphics adapter supports this technology. |
| Make sure you have an approved TV Tuner card |
In order to watch TV on your system, you will need an approved USB-based TV tuner or TV Tuner card. This version of the Upgrade Advisor does not detect whether an approved TV tuner exists in your current system. Contact your PC retailer to find out if a TV Tuner card that is approved for use with Microsoft Media Center is or can be installed in your system. |
Either
a) upgrade your graphics adapter to one that has TV output or
b) connect via an Xbox 360 or other Windows Vista-compatible media center extender |
