Article outlines what you'll need to run Vista in all it's "Glory"...

I think the following is a stupid remark and I'd expect Wired to know better: "which means an external graphics card or processor is almost invariably required."

What the hell does that mean? I didn't know there were such things as "external graphics cards or processors".. this is confusing (someone actually emailed me about this asking what an external graphics cards was and if the computer I spec'd for them (with an ATI Radeon X1900) was going to handle vista... why hadn't I told them they would need an "external graphics card")..

FYI: for those of you who don't know much about computers, graphics cards are always (at least for the vast majority) internal.. it's whether the graphics card is integrated (meaning built into the motherboard) or an add-on card (plugged into a motherboard's expansion slot, usually a slot specifically for graphics cards.. like AGP or PCI-Express 16). Vista requires the latter.
