Wow vista does use alot of ram!

i think the real question here is how long can i stay on xp lol
i know people still running 95 and 98 lol i don't know how
 
next thursday i will be building my first computer which i planned on putting vista on. i will be putting a g skill ddr2 800 2gb for memory. will that be enough to run vista smoothly? or will it be slow?

Nah 2Gb will be great ;)
 
I have 2GB installed on my machine running vista home premium and on my side-bar just running aim and two tabs in firefox it says I'm using almost 900MB of my ram, tell me it aint a ram hog. I'd upgrade to 4GB of ram, but I have 32bit vista since there are pretty much no drivers for 64bit vista, so I'd be stuck at the 3.3GB limit :(. Vista really dissapoints me. I just got an "express" upgrade to vista premium for one of my other computers and I'm probably not going to even bother installing it after waiting for 3 months to get it to my house. I just don't like vista. I hope that Windows next operating system(w/e the name be) brings something with balls that actually works good.
 
Not yet, but from what I understand, when xtra putrid came out nobody imagined 1gb DIMMs would be just a few years down the road, and the original version of xp wasn't capable of recognizing it, but sp2 fixed that. The same thing will happen with vista too. In a few months, nobody knows for sure when, the first MOBOs that use DDR3 memory will go into production, and DDR3 is dense enough to hold 8gb in one DIMM. The major computer manufacturers will hold a monopoly on it for a couple months, just like they did with the first QX series of CPUs, but shortly afterwards it'll hit the aftermarket companies.

That makes sense, more than likely a good prediction
