MU News Crucial Technology Introduces Online System Scanner Tool for Windows Vista Operating System
MERIDIAN, Idaho, and GLASGOW, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crucial Technology, a division of Micron (NYSE:MU) and one of the
world's leading memory upgrade providers, today announced an easy-to-use
online tool that evaluates a user’s PC to
determine if their system can handle the memory requirements of the
Microsoft® Windows Vista™
Basic, Premium, and Ultimate operating systems.
Crucial’s innovative System Scanner tool
analyzes the user’s current system components
and compares it to Microsoft’s minimum system
specifications for the Windows Vista operating system. In just one
click, the tool tells a user what memory is already installed in their
PC or notebook, compared to what it will need to run the Windows Vista
OS. Additionally, the scanner displays guaranteed-compatible memory
upgrades to maximize the Windows Vista OS experience.
“Many users have no idea whether or not their
computers and laptops are prepared to handle the memory-intensive
requirements of the Windows Vista OS,” stated
John Egan, Crucial’s Web marketing manager. “The
Crucial System Scanner tool takes all of the guesswork out of preparing
for the Windows Vista OS upgrade.”
Microsoft has announced that it will launch the Windows Vista OS to
consumers in early 2007. Touted as Microsoft’s
most powerful operating system to date, it has a wealth of new features
and enhancements that require considerably more memory than its
predecessors. Upgrading memory is an affordable, effective way to get a
system ready for the Windows Vista OS, and the Crucial System Scanner
tool makes determining these memory needs simple. The tool is free and
available at http://www.crucial.com
or http://www.crucial.com/uk by
clicking the “Am I Vista Ready?”
button.
