Will Windows Vista run ok on 1GB RAM and a 3.0GHz processor? It is a computer from PC World and I would prefer to have XP but unfortunatly it only comes with Vista.
 
It will run just fine on 1GB. I've only had oh... I dunno... About a dozen laptops in the past month running Vista on 1 GB and a Centrino Duo... Something like that. It will be fine.

my thinkpad is a Centrino Duo (c2d) but vista struggles, i have only 1gb ram, and i agree with paratwa, i guess the minimum for performance is 2gb, even if my laptop is vista capable. :(
 
Yes you can run Vista on just 1GB of RAM, although if you try to game and/or run lots of apps at once, your system will slow down quite a bit.

Why is it struggling? It shouldn't be. Do you have lots of things running?

for the daily day to day tasks it's ok but once i start photoshop, the lag starts, and if i run CS3 with VMware together, it brings down my system, but my dell (sig) handles the load of CS3, VMWARE and ACROBAT 8.
probably i should get another stick for my lappy

cheers
