Win7 has somewhat lower base ram usage, but both 7 and Vista scales up ram usage if you have more ram. So, just because Vista idles at 1,2 gigs in a 2gb setup, you don't actually need 2gb minimum for it to do anything.
I've used Vista with 1gb ram, back in the pre-sp1 days, and it worked just fine. Of course I had problems when I tried loading apps that alone took 1gb ram (most modern games), but the base OS itself run beautifully well, and so did most other apps (webbrowsers, etc). Hell, I dare say that Vista would run fine on 512mb as well. Unlike XP, the minimum RAM requirement of the OS is not the one where it boots in half hour, but the one that the OS actually uses, with headroom for a few apps. How ya doing, buddy? |
