My problem is that it always takes around 45% RAM. It was about 1GB out of 2 and now it takes almost 2 out of 4. But yeah, you need at least 2GB for Vista so you can have some free for apps
I bought Vista only because they were giving bunch of stuff free [after rebate] - photo printer, flash drive [does nt work with Vista], hdtv tuner [the same], small router [also did not work on Vista

].
I am still too lazy to install Ubuntu, but my Windows is really trying to encourage me.
