With all the console hullaballoo, we here at Kotaku got a little bit preoccupied, fantasizing about our bright next generation game purses that we'll soon be sissily swinging at one another when arguing about the supremacy of one versus the other.

Unfortunately, that means that we didn't report on the PC side of things very much. Sorry about that — you PC gamers are a proud and bumptious lot with little to no patience for Nintendo's latest bobble-headed offerings. If you aren't composing your next 1600x1200 graphical sig, replete with all your system's 3DMark scores and the complete quotes of Douglas Adams translated in Tolkein Elvish, you're in the bathroom with a hardware upgrade catalogue, praying fervently that your Mom doesn't knock. We know how it is — we've been there ourselves.

So good news, PC Gamers! Looks like you've got a sexy new PC upgrade coming your way! Because the Inquirer is reporting that Windows Vista is going to require 2 gigs of RAM when it's released early next year. Although 900 meg seems to be the bare minimum required even to use Word or Powerpoint, it looks right now like Halo 2 or any other Windows Vista game is going to double the amount required. Looks like it's time to start peeling apart the soggy pages of your latest Crucial catalogue!
