RAM cap for vista home premium x32?

You only have 1gb of ram? You need atleast 2gb for Vista to run good. I have used a 2gb flash drive for ReadyBoost and it DOES actually work but, not a whole lot.

No Need more physical ram first. Actually, too much paging file will result in a decrease in performance.

When people ask these questions, rather than saying around 3.25GB or 3.3GB, then people debating on how much they think it would be. Why don't we say

"The max addressable limit is 4GB, but due to extra hardware, it will be significantly less"

I think it would make more sense in other topics, where new computer enthusiasts get completely stuck then all the estimates make them even more confused.

Just my opinion though
