You need 4GB of RAM to run Vista!
If you want to get good performance from the new OS from Microsoft (Vista) you should install at least 4GB of RAM.
That's what David Short, an IBM consultant and Vista beta tester for two years, says.
Microsoft is right: WOW.

More RAM means better performance, but if you have less RAM the caching will be less aggressive.
Instead of reading data from RAM you'll have to read it from HD and programs will be at least as fast as they're on XP. With more RAM they'll be faster.
I was able to run Windows Vista with 512 MB of RAM, the system was quite good, slower than Windows XP but usable.
Now I'm running Windows Vista with 1 GB of RAM on the same system I tried with 512 MB of RAM I can say that Windows Vista is faster than Windows XP.
I think Windows Vista has a very good memory manager (like Mac OS X) and adding RAM is a good idea to get better performance... on the other and 4 GB aren't really useful nowadays and I think that during the dayuse of the PC 2 GB or 4 GB aren't so important.
