... I don't follow you Mike. Are you saying persons spending around $1,000 or 2,000 on a new laptop can't afford an extra strip of ram which is extremely affordable? Have you done any pricing lately? "Mike Hall - MVP" wrote in message ... So the laptop manufacturer installs 2gb because it is known that Vista is better for having 2gb fitted. Nope, too easy a solution, and they will lose customers who can't quite afford 2gb. Then again, RAM would come down in price if more was manufactured and installed by the OEMs Vista performs adequately in 1gb, assuming that there is no call on the RAM by any part of the system. In laptops, there always is, and desktops with integrated video have the same issue. The manufacturers are quite aware of this fact, yet they still choose to sell underpowered systems.. They did it with XP too. Remember, it is better to have sold an underpowered system than to have lost the sale completely.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx There are people who will not go that little bit further, and those who flatly refuse to do so because THEY don't think that Vista should have to require more than 1gb. I know that memory is cheap enough, but manufacturers want to catch as many sales as they can.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx

... The manufacturers should install at least 1.5gb RAM in ANY machine, but they don't purely to keep the price down. I agree. Why do MS not suggest this to PC vendors? http://warworld13.myminicity.com/ MS shouldn't have to tell anybody. The manufacturers are well aware.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx

Yes, that is true, but I think there are more than enough MS product users in the world to justify them making a few recommendations/insistance on our behalf? http://peanutpaleis.myminicity.com

Without being to technical, can you tell me why it does not work ? Well it DOES work, but you don't get the best performance with a duo core processor unless you have two identical RAM chips. AFAIK......
