Le GoogelGuRu said:Well said. But I'd say it could run pretty good without 3GB of RAM.
No...that's not true at all. I'll go boot up Vista on this machine with 3 GB of RAM and tell you how much it uses on average if you really want to know. Usually it was around 512-768 MB though if I can remember correctly. If it was 3GB minimum, all but a small percentage of users wanting to upgrade would be in deep s tJenox said:Well 3GBs of RAM is just to cover the resources Vista uses, then enough RAM to game efficiently with. Vista takes up WAY to much memory, it's an OS, it's supposed to use LITTLE memory, applications use the memory, not the OS itself. Vista is a flawed design in my opinion.
The beta...and two years ago...Jenox said:I used the Beta in school liek two years ago, and Solitaire used something like 128,000K of memory, for SOLITAIRE! The most basic of games aside from Minesweeper. That's just ridiculous...

You can't really compare that to what it is now. In two years, a ton of stuff can be programmed. Hell, Vista's been in development for what, six years? And out of those six years, Microsoft wasn't really putting getting Vista out as their top priority. They were more concerned about XP. So you had a beta that was released halfway through development, and you're biased on that?? I don't think that's really applicable.
I guess you have a point, but for the average user, they only need a gig of RAM. On XP, a hardcore would probably want 2 gigs of RAM, so for Vista and with games becoming more and more intense, I would say 3GB for a high end gaming experience would be about right.Jenox said:yeah, it might be biased, but also from reads it's using roughly the same resources. Vista just sucks to much memory for my liking, and i like to game, so memory is a huge factor.

Also though, prices in RAM are dropping like crazy. You only have to spend like $100 to add a gig of RAM.
