ok i wont make a large thread but i'll explain some things.
today i installed vista on my dell optiplex 210L (being vista capable)
so installed the first half of software i used. All successful , no errors.
Since the sidebar is running at default i put my cpu meter in it.
The test came when i installed vmware 6, the meter stayed at 100%..lol
yet i haven't installed my 2 main software which is Photoshop 3 and Acrobat 8 both being huge in installation,

on xp i used to run photoshop, AR8 and vm all at once which reached 75% of my ram but vista sucks at that...lol
even if i disabled everything related to themes etc...

i my point of view i think vista capable machines should be "Intel Core 2 duo,2gb ram with 80+gb HD and 256 vga".....
 
I see your point, Vista does eat up RAM, far too much of it for the little services running, that is why i upgraded to 3 GB, i dont get many issues like that any more.
Vista is hungry!!
 
On my laptop just sitting idle at my desktop Vista has 512 MB RAM taken up. It makes me frustrated at times.
 
With the computer in my sig, i idle on 750ish mb of ram and the cpu will idle at 0-1%....i havent seen mine go past 80% load so far but im on an x2

Vista is a memory hog!
 
running 1gb vista took 70 percent. running 2gb vista took 40 percent.

this was shown on the g15 lcd panel.
 
vista also likes about 30 gigs of free hard drive space.

I have two gigs in my vista machine, and my CPU still spikes at 100% and my RAM also spikes up to 100% when running a virtual machine.

MS just writes crappy code, and then it takes them 3 service packs to get it right, but then you are forced to upgrade to whatever is next. Come one, you all should know that by now.
 
and the funny thing still is they are selling a laptop still with 512 mb and vista installed. My brother was looking at it i told him i would kill it if he bought it :).
