'Memory
To take better advantage of Windows Vista functionality, you should have at least 512 MB of RAM, on your PC. This provides enough memory for both the operating system and a typical application workload. And while 512 MB is great for many scenarios, more advanced users will want 1 GB of memory or more. If your typical workload is heavy, you do a lot of image editing or development, or you run multiple applications all the time, then more memory is good. In general, an investment in additional memory is wise, and you should certainly make sure that the computer you buy has room to add additional memory later'
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvi...dware.mspx#EGAAI don't really think 512mb can be support,and maybe only beta version only takes out 800mb ram.Reminds me of dos version 640 kb ram....
Anyway new comment,for who want to have or using window vista smoothly,get ready to save your $$ to buy a new pc around 3 to 4 k or maybe more.Sigh,for me just using vista for new pc ,not worth it.
