Vista doesn't need 2 GB to run well - you will need it if you want to use all the multimedia features. It runs great on much less - as long as it is setup properly. It appears to devour memory, but in actuality it just uses it much more effectively. Think about it - with all previous releases, we always wanted as much free memory as possible. But that number is almost meaningless with Vista. With an efficient system, it makes no sense to have a lot of free memory sitting around -- better dynamic allocation should use ALL the memory possible and just make it instantly available when needed. Vista is much, much better at this than all previous versions. But of course, it still has plenty of weak spots.

Yep i catch on, I guess its much like the old carby setup compared to fuel injection, one pc tech did tell me once that with all microsoft new operating systems it takes at least 12 months before they get most of the bugs worked out, [that was in the XP days] anyway some clients would want the newest systems out as soon as they were released, he said " oh what a headache they bring on themselves ", as he shaked his head.
I have never tried Linux, i believe they are better than Microsoft, and i hear very good reports about Mac's, if i win lotto i might buy one
all the best
