RAM For Vista & Vienna -- "Upgrading" From XP
Any serious user should realize he needs TWO GB of RAM in order to run Vista
and have room for future developments over the life of the computer. Only a rather ignorant and stupid person would buy a box with less than TWO GB of RAM. It's rather shameful how some of the more knowledgeable people here are buying TWO Gigs of RAM for THEMSELVES -- while recommending ONE Gig as sufficient for the needs of others. I personally plan to have FOUR Gigs of RAM, at a minimum -- when I buy Vienna. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Deus Vult |

RAM For Vista & Vienna -- "Upgrading" From XP
Just so others that happen across this thread know, this guy has absolutely
no idea as to what he's talking about. There is more then one version of Vista. They have different requirements. So there is no blanket statement as to what "Vista" requires. I have a few Vista machines running on 1GB and the OS itself runs no better then my 4GB machine. To determine "IF" you need more memory you first need to evaluate the apps you'll be using. So again, there is no blanket statement as to what "Vista" requires. Therefore, the blanket statement that a person is stupid or ignorant if they buy a machine with less the 2GB is just plain ridiculous and only further proves what kind of imbecile this guy is. "D.

Nice opinion, but I don't agree, 1GB is sufficient for the average user.

I concur. I've been running with 1GB of RAM for over a year now and
everything is peachy. "D. Spencer Hines" wrote in message ...

Hilarious!
It's QUITE amusing watching some gurus rant about "the average user" and "sufficient for their needs" -- speaking as if NEEDS and REQUIREMENTS are STATIC and don't CHANGE over the life cycle of a given computer. The NEEDS of 2007 may be QUITE different from the NEEDS and REQUIREMENTS of 2009, when newer applications and other software programs will have demanded more RAM. Again, any serious user should realize he needs TWO GB of RAM in order to run Vista and have room for future developments over the life of the computer. It's rather shameful how some of the more pseudo-knowledgeable people here are buying TWO Gigs of RAM for THEMSELVES -- while recommending ONE Gig as sufficient for the needs of others. I personally plan to have FOUR Gigs of RAM, at a minimum -- when I buy VIENNA. 'Nuff Said. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas |

My old ATI 9800 Pro and all my hardware are also working. The only thing I ran into was a couple of programs that wouldn't work. Quicken 2000 (OK time to upgrade anyway) and CompuPic by Photodex. It's the one program I haven't been able to use. gls858 |

You further prove you have no clue. There's a certain action called UPGRADING. You don't need to spend the money to build a 2009 machine long before 2009. Upgrade and spend as you need to. |

I agree with the original poster. Sure it depends what you run, but
that was the case with XP also. Generally speaking 2 GB is a nice number for Vista. Go look at Dell's web site..........." 2GB Dell Recommended for an enhanced Windows Vista experience".

Not only that, but what exactly is a "enhanced Windows Vista experience" and
why does everyone need it? Again, that goes along the lines of what the customer needs. The last three Dell purchases I've been involved with, two laptops and one desktop, all three came with 1GB of memory and Vista Home Premium. In all vases, 1GB was the default.

Enhanced Windows Vista Experience
The enhanced Vista Experience is when you install Vista, you get constant
BSOD's, sound doesn't work, programs don't work, your hard drive is constantly churnin', the CPU meter is pegged at 90%+, you curse, yell, scream, and are just about to throw the PC out the window. I think I saw the definition on the Microsoft site, but I'm not positive! "Justin" wrote in message ...

"Generally speaking" statements are generally meaningless. How much RAM you need for good performance with Windows Vista, depends, just as it did with Windows XP, on what apps you are running. Not everyone needs 2GB by a long shot. Go look at Dell's web site..........." 2GB Dell Recommended for an enhanced Windows Vista experience". LOL!
