Vista's system requirements are rather steep despite what it printed. The deal is that Microsoft understated things merely to move more copies. TECHNICALLY, you can run Vista on a 1GHz system with only 1GB RAM and a 128MB DX9-compatible graphics chipset. Wellll.... "Windows XP Pro has a minimum requirement for a 233MHz Pentium processor, 64MB of RAM and 4GB of hard drive space. Just imagine running Windows XP on that sort of hardware and then consider what Vista would be like on a system that passes the Upgrade Advisor with flying colours." - http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/06/15/windows_vista_hardware/ Oh, and many laptops have inadequate graphics capabilities. Vista has HEFTY video requirements that I can't meet since I lack an AGP slot on my (not terribly old) 1.8GHz desktop and am stuck with on-board graphics.

also keep in mind that vista takes up 984mb of ram for itself with no applications running so you will only have 1gb and 40mb left of ram. everytime you open up ie, you are using another great chunk of your now halved memory, and the overflow will be stored on your hardrive which is incredibly slower than ram. In reality, to be able to multitask in vista I would suggest at least 3gb of ram [1bg for vista itself, and 2gb for yourself]. though,... i dont use vista. I have long upgraded to linux and unix :) That computer would be uber fast on a linux/unix system ;)

Well depending on what vista your running on your computer, it can still take up a lot of RAM, but thats because Vista is a heavy OS to run, i would never get vista till a long time as many prgrams are still not capable of vista and also they have messed up wiv some of there features on it, but there isnt any way to make it faster, i recommend you go bck to media centre or home edition of XP.
