I recently bought a Dell Inspiron with Vista preloaded. It is not a gaming/extreme performance setup by any means. But I do not have any complaints running Home Premium with 1Gig of RAM. If you go low on RAM, you will need a good video card and fast processor. At a minimum, I suggest 1Gig. 2 would be far better.

I have yet to use Vista, but I have neard that it's a memory hog. Unsubstantiated rumors say that 1GB is the absolute minimum, with most recommending 2GB for reasonable operation.
I suspect you are going to be quite frustrated with 512MB; even running Win XP Pro on 512MB is quite an exercise in patience.

512 MB is enough but 1 GB is faster and 2 GB is even more faster than 512 and 1 GB.

512 will run Home Basic Vista, 1GB will run Home Premium but 2GB will run any version of Vista at good speeds

You will need at least 1.0GB RAM for Vista to work properly. 2GB and it will fly.
