| I am currently receiving a measure of vindication as more and more people are
| finding stubborn and often insurmountable problems with drivers,
| applications, and worst of all, the sheer sluggishness of this monstrous OS
| which requires a jaw-dropping 15GB of free hard drive space just to install.
| And if you ever want to uninstall it, you're better off just reformatting the
| disk or you'll be weeks just trying to put all the pieces back together.

Testing Vista's different memory configurations
,----[ Quote ]
| You simply cannot play games on Vista with 512MB o memory, at least not the
| games wen tested. You will sometimes get playable scores but even then the
| experience and the load time will be ridiculous.
|
| Anything more than 512MB will help you a lot, with 2x1GB being the best
| price performance buy.
|
| 4x1GB is the best choice for best raw performance. It is hard to prove it
| ^^^^^
| in every test, but if you have 2x1GB and you load as much in memory, the
| ^^^^^
| system will become endessly slow.
