But with 2Gb of quality RAM costing less than thirty quid right now, it's really not an issue, is it? I may very well try Vista come the new year. But before I do I shall transfer all my business stuff to another PC. Better safe than sorry Still undecided whether to go for 32 or 64 bit though.

M michael555 Joined Mar 21, 2005 Messages 896 Reaction score 0 Dec 5, 2007 #6 vista does hog ram alot. Saying you have 1024gb of ram vista will used most of that. I download some software and the ram intake on 1gb was alot. God know what it needs running games. I will stick with xp for now and it does,nt hog my ram. vista was a let down to me anyway. What is so good about the aero effects anyway or better security?
