Default VISTA RAM

I'm running Vista 5536 on a Dell D620 with 512MB's RAM. It performs OK with
just a couple of apps open; I haven't really pushed it. No games or graphics
intensive stuff. Yes, Vista will run in 512MB's RAM and probably acceptably
so for some folks. Depends on what one wants to do with it.

Interestingly... this laptop has 64MB's video RAM, 32MB system and 32MB
shared and it's running Aero.

Well... The CPU is an Intel Core Duo T2400 1.83Ghz and the display adapter
is a Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Controller 0 (Microsoft
Corporation - WDDM). The mobo is reported by Belarc Advisor as being a Dell
Inc. 0TD761.
