Hi all.

I just can't find a good comparative adjective that'd be suitable for the noun "hardware requirements"...

What can I say:

1. Stronger hardware requirements
2. Stricter...
3. Bigger...

I tried looking them up in Google but got too few mathces. Maybe there's a more common adjective...

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Shouldn't it be "higher" (just came to my mind)

Hi ,

depending on the the context, does any of the following work for you? "stringent", "demanding", "proven", "uncompromised "

Hi,
I'm really not sure, I don't know if it could be good or not, but I thought of this:

better hardware resources

If you don't have a sense of humor already, it's about time you buy one.

Goodman: «"stringent", "demanding", "proven", "uncompromised"»

Hmmm. The first two seem OK, but I have no idea of what "proven requirements" and "uncompromised requirements" can mean... Not to speak of their not being comparatives (more proven?)...

Kooyeen:

Resources???

And how do my suggestions sound to you?

Sorry, I didn't understand what you really wanted. It's just that you didn't put the expression you're looking for in a sentence, so there was no context.
Maybe this one is good, but I really don't know...

more demanding hardware requirements

Kooyeen: yes, it is good...

As to an examle, it could be:

Vista has much (more) ___ hardware requirements than Win98SE.

That's what I mean.

P.S.: Thanks.

Yes... "Vista" was actually the first thing that crossed my mind when I thought about your question. I'm afraid most people would think of an example about "Vista". We all lack fantasy, don't we? LOL Wink [;)]

«We all lack fantasy, don't we?»

Don't know about others, but:
When it comes to my way of making up English examples, that definitely the case...

Hi Ant222,

By that statement, what are you trying to get across? It appears to me as though it's a sentence with no clear purpose. Vista is the newest software from MicroSoft and you are combining them in the sentence.

Is it possible that you meant: Vista requires higher hardware upgrades than Win98SE?
