i just tried Vista Beta 2 out on two systems, mine and my friends.

I have 64MB graphics chipset.

My friend has a 4MB graphics chipset.

Both computers were sluggish.

But you have to remember that it is still in Beta form. That means that it still uses more resources than a final OS. Heck Vista is kinda sluggish on my system@ 3.4GHz HT, 2GB DDR2 RAM, and a 256MB Vid Card.

That is why were are still Beta testing it. So they can get the demands down. Your best bet is to run the Advisory tool and see how you fair. Integrated GFX will not be that great but you still maybe able to run Vista.

According to the Official Windows Vista site, Windows Vista Beta 2 is now available for IT professionals and developers with MSDN and TechNet subscriptions. In the coming weeks, Microsoft will start the Windows Vista Customer Preview Program (CPP) for developers and IT professionals who are not members of the subscription services.

The Windows Vista CPP will also be available to technology enthusiasts that want to install and test a copy of Windows Vista Beta 2. You can get a head start on your Windows Vista CPP preparation by visiting the Get Ready section of this site and downloading the Windows Vista Product Guide.

Windows Vista Beta 2 has officialy been released to testers, via Microsoft's Connect portal. The build number is 5384.4. Windows Server "Longhorn" has also been released to testers. The packages are available for both the x86 and x64 platforms.

The Vista Beta 2 x86 DVD is 3,200.15 MB, and the x64 DVD is 4,109.73 MB. The package contains Ultimate, Home Basic, Home Premium, and Business binaries. As ever, the key used is what determines what SKU you see.
