I ran two Vista Home premium systems with only 1 GB for several years
without problem I also have run Windows7 on my laptop with only 1GB of Ram.
Will the system perform better with 2GB, yes but depending on your
applications the improvement may be not even be noticed

Hi, Some people on the XP Discussion told me that Widows Vista only really
runs well if it has 2Gb RAM. I know that the Upgrade advisor states a lot
less, and that the Minimum system requirements is less also.

Is this 2Gb need/want true, in what cases, and why? Is it just that Vista
runs much smoother on 2 GB RAM?

Thank you.
