upgrade RAM! .... provided there is enough slot ... notebook may have very limited slots right? :sweat:
I was tested on my 1 GB RAM laptop with Vista quite sometime ago. What I can say is really cannot make it. Vista suck too much resources. If you insist on Vista, recommended use it on Core 2 Duo with at least 2GB RAM to let all things run smoothly. Unless you really willing to bear with the speed then nothing I can say.
u tested 1gb with vista alone or running some programs concurrently? .... what am i talking? if not running any programs, whats the use of a computer? :embrass:
no more multitasking?? so that we can concerate on 1 job at a time.
aiya ..to save $$$ stay with XP from now..
i certainly hope so too.... the price of ram to me now is still very very expensive.. i have been staying with 768mb of ram for 2 yrs already, and the cs2 ran very slow on my 2.26ghz computer....
but ps 7 is just nice, the speed is ok
i hope this will make more ram manufacturers come into the industry and hopefully drive the price of 1 gb ram down to $50 or less... This may seem like a dream now, but wait a minute, still remember the days when 1gb cf card cost near $1000? ;p
debugs and re-bugs, debugs and re-bugs.... with all this cycles, maybe that's why 5 years of development? :bsmilie:
maybe a no brainer remark: $ is the only issue that hinder Vista upgrade as most people dun want to spend the money to upgrade their hardware.....
so Vista actually is a great product! :thumbsup:

512MB worth of RAM WILL run on Windows Vista. I've tried running Vista Ultimate on 512MB of ram.
but on the side note, right once after you've installed Windows and all the drivers, it'll already take more then 300MB of RAM for Windows alone.
that's a cool 60% more as compared to Windows XP, which would not take more then 180MB under same conditions...
Windows Aero Glass is cool, but personally, i find it dumb to have nice nice interface at the expense of responsiveness...
and to rant on, windows defender is really a pain in the ass. everything you run, windows defender will ask you if you'll permit it or not.. perhaps it's good for the "not so literate" bunch, but it's annoying if you ask me. RAM sucking piece of feature...
oh well.
it's kinda odd that i've been chasing betas for Windows XP 5 years ago, but now Vista is officially out, i dont give 2 hoots. =)
