I just came from wal-mart and they had a barebones pc there with a pretty good price $298 bucks (you get a tower some speakers and a keyboard),I believe it was an emachines and the guy there said it has a vista platform. I was under the impression vista needed a lot of sdram to work correctly. Thats why a lot of folk are having trouble with vista.I was thinking to my self. Am I right?
can I get a little help?

and an amd 3600 motherboard
Is it a good deal?

You should have 1024 ram for vista, but you can add 512ram easily and if its ddr2 its inexpensive and easy to add.You can buy ddr2 for about 30-40 dollars . Go to--Pricewatch.com---for pricing, some of their stores have free shipping also.

It can, but Vista hogs memory. Most people recommend at least one gig. I recommend two because my comp usually sits around 30-50% RAM usage with 2 GB's/

It will work but it might crash most of the time you need 1GB or 2GB of ram.
