i have a brand new computer that came with windows vista. the computer runs very slow and i think it is because of the RAM. comp only came with 512MB of RAM and i heard vista can eat up 700MB just sitting there doing nothing. it takes like 5 or 6 seconds just to close and internet window out. Will more RAM solve this problem?

The required RAM for Vista is 1 GB, but for better performance it should be at least 2 GB.

i don't think of so it is going to run, yet i won't be in a position to declare so because of the fact which you have not stated approximately your RAM and Video card. on the muse of information given by utilising you i'm able to in basic terms say 60GB is particularly much less for Vista. For Vista i decide for to recommend: a minimum of 1GB of RAM a sturdy mid-variety PCI-E card a minimum of 80GB HDD area Your processor could be extremely incapable for handling Vista. Microsoft has arranged for a Vista-compatibility attempt on their website. ensure you visit it, in case you do not comply with my comments. And by utilising the way who's the only supplying you with Vista for "unfastened"?

I think that you have loaded some unnecessary software loaded on your computer like. Or might be you have loaded two antivirus on your vista(like macafee or norton).
If still it is slow then type msconfig on run and disable unnecessary startup services, services like virus scan or messenger.

Yes I studied for a while and you need at least two GBs for it to run smoothly the reports said.
