I've had the ultimate version running on 1GB, was terrible, extremely greedy with ram. Now I'm back with XP. Thinking bout running ultimate again, as i hav 2GB now ;) Any1 out there, preferably online gamers, hav issues with vista? And how much ram u running? 8GB ??? :confused:
 
If you're not playing games or running memory intensive apps, 1GB should do, otherwise 2GB is sorta a must.

So far i've only played BF2142 on my machine with 2GB, and it runs just fine.

Great thing bout Vista is, the more memory you throw at it, the better it runs, since Superfetch will always make use of all your free memory.

Sooo shud i get another 2GB which = 4GB I shud be extremely happy :rolleyes:
 
Yeah 2gb helps a lot with Vista, I got ultimate with athlonx2 & 2gb running nicely.
 
2Gb is really enough, especially if you don't actually need it for gaming or any heavy apps. Eh.. I see you do, well it's still enough :)

1GB runs Ultimate fine, like someone said, even with old AMD 64 chips.
 
I was bored (ye, very bored!) the other night, and got vista installed on a P3 Celeron 733 with 512mb ram - slow, but runs!.
 
Add a 4 GB memory usb stick ultimate is taking 3.8 Gig
from it for the Ready Boost Trancsend sticks are compatible it works and is cheaper
 
Turn off the desktop search services and some of the other non essential bloat and suddenly Vista feels a lot smoother.

I might get Vista home basic for DX10 gaming but honestly, I think it's a load of rubbish.
 
I'm tired of Windows.

My PC is currently running XP Home SP2 with Vista Tranformation Pack - and I've never even thought of upgrading to Vista. Why have to buy more RAM and a faster processor for the same desktop I already have?

My next 'PC' will be a Mac. :)
 
Had Vista (2Gb Ram) .................................. err...like I said I had vista...
 
vista is fine with me with 2gb's iv got business x64 but omg when it comes to getting DX10 to run :mad::mad: i still cant get lost planet demo to run with DX10 on my 8800 gts
 
ok here's the thing.. the part bout using usb flash drives for 'cache mem' doesn't go with me.. i mean, usb 2.0 speed for cache mem? maybe when we get usb3.0 with like superfast speeds then that'll work .. neway.. i've decided 2 go with 4bg ram, as this shud be more than sufficient for heavy gaming :D
didn't buy it yet tho.. ;)
 
2 Gb RAM for Vista is allmost barebones if you do heavy stuuf, notice it with Apps like Visio.
I'm back on XP from Vista Business ed.
