Cromewell Administrator Staff member Mar 25, 2008 #2 Vista just uses a lot of RAM. You can turn off unneeded services and programs and what not but it will only help so much. An alternative is to get more RAM, 1GB is probably the minimum you want with Vista.

O oscaryu1 VIP Member Mar 26, 2008 #5 Vista is a memory hog. If you're gaming, 2GB minimum. Go with XP if you have 1GB or so and want to game...
