Suggest an adjective, please...

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

better hardware resources

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

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 yo

Goodman: « Vista is the newest software from MicroSoft and you are combining them in the sentence.»

OK, then I'll say it this way (so that it doesn't sound so much like a tautology):

«Vista has (imposes?) much (more) ____ hardware requirements that Debian Linux 4.0»

«Vista requires higher hardware upgrades than Win98SE?» — Generally yes, but don't want to refer to updat
