RE: Windows Vista Question
Put another stick of ram in? Other then that i cant see a reason, running vista on 256 would hurt anyways, xp on 256 is bad enough.

O.P. RE: Windows Vista Question
Well besides going out to buy another stick of ram for a labtop does anyone else have any other ideas or anyway of getting around the system requirements and actually my Windows Xp runs very fast with 256 RAM...... ill also accept all donation of sticks of ram for my Dell Inspiron 1000.......  or a new labtop! 
Thanks

RE: Windows Vista Question
RAM doesnt cost that much...the more expensive RAM sticks are for older computers so it shouldnt be that hard to buy another RAM stick

Vista will require a Lot of Memory atleast 1Gig an a 128+ Video card Memory, my guess is the Minimum it'll require to maybe run is 512MB Ram an 128 + MB Video Card |
