Is it ok to run Vista with just 512MB RAM only using surf net(firefox+IE), run online java (JVM) application(launch from browser), MSword, utorrent, 1 antivirus+ zonealarm, listen song & watch movie all together?

it's not the torrent program that's causing the excessive harddisk access..
i've check resource monitor and apparently it's svchost that's accessing my harddisk. It's reading files randomly and causing the hangups.

ok...svchost is a thing where windows use to group several services together, which means each svchost contains a few or more services,

when u look at the resource>disk monitor , under the svchost,exe, you look at the file location, does most of them coming from ur downloading file? If thats so, you might need to check the settings of uTorrent

have you update the AV and firewall? coz theres possbility that some malwares are doing its work quietly

theres some ways to look for what the actual services are being covered by each svchost, by opening windows defender, look for currently running programs, or u can use command prompt

Do you have the right viewer? What app do you use to view GIF? Try using IE. It should animate.

With DAP ur downloading time only 1H30M? And with normal download 48H?? This sounds ridiculous. DAP does not acceralete that fast. How big is the file? Even if normal download it won't goes to 48H

What i meant is when i'm using Windows XP SP2 i download the Client with 1 hour and 20~30 minutes. But When i'm using Windows Vista i can't use DAP to download but normal downloading style it took me 48 HOUR TO DOWNLOAD IT O.o" so the problem is there anyway to make me use DAP to download ?????

copy paste the link into DAP to download? or try flashget, free download manager, opera or firefox DownlThemAll plugin?

For me, FlashGet also has some problems in Vista. When I use it to start download, a popup menu appear saying something like "Access denied" but the file still downloading. I have to wait until complete, then only I click OK and the solution, Close Program sweat.gif

RAM, I would say 1GB is the minimum. I'm running with 1GB and I feel very2 laggy right now, even while playing DOTA, very laggy .. point the mouse there and the screen will follow shortly cry.gif 2 of my bro using 1.5GB, seems fine. Maybe I installed lots of programs compared to them? unsure.gif gotta make dual boot, partying in XP since I'm ran out of cash to upgrade

I have no such problem with FlashGet on my PC tho, and as it integrated in both Opera and IE, that's why I used it
