Vista, Have you got enough Memory?
May get the upgrade to Vista when i buy my Laptop.
But it's confussing how much RAM you need to run it. Dell (who i may buy from) suggest 2GB, But Microsoft's Vista site say 1GB, so who is right?

Hmmm, my XP takes 1.2gb
 MS are renowned for "understating" system requirements ... it will run, err, walk maybe. I have had Vista running quite well enough on the "Old Girl" with 1gig ram ... I would prefer 2gig.

ًWell Microsoft's "1GB" means that it is the MINIMUM required so obviously you should take heaps more of RAM for it to run 'smoothly'
