does any body has a PC with Vista and 1GB of RAM? Does it run well? Can you notice significant slowdowns?

I not have Vista but have studied it to help people I know.
Microsoft say a minimum of 512 MB AND!!!! Some things may not be available. Most everyone agree 1 GB should do well under most computer applications. I say just over time upgrade to MAX out on RAM.
Now, another thing Vista can do for you is use a Flash Drive as Virtual Memory. It helps work a little faster than the Hard Drive as VM, but, it not as Fast as RAM. So, if you have a jump drive laying around use it, I not sure buying one for VM be cheaper than regular RAM but shop around. Now go here and read about it, if you not know;

I run both my laptop and my desktop with vista and only 1 GB of RAM. I haven't noticed any slow down. If you have any large "needy" programs you might think about upgrading past 1GB, but if you don't then save your money.
Thanks,
Charlie

Te minimum is 512mb, the reccomended is 1gb, but you always have to go over the recommended, i recomend at least 2gb
