Yes Vista is memory hungry, the dell I got for my daughter only had half a gig mem in.
Went out and fitted a 1 gig mem upgrade in it, half the price of what dell wanted, and a higher spec chip
Big difference, told her to let me know when she wants the other gig getting, and will give it another boost
Vista upgrades are all well, but there is still a lot of software incompatibilty problems, for example I have ntl/virgin internet and there own software is still not compat with vista
It does a check on your system before you upgrade, and will tell you what software/hardware is not compat with it, It looks good, but I think another 12 months and they may have it up to a usable level
Might well be worth checking with ms to see if there is an online check that can be done before you fork out for the upgrade, you might not want to if you have to change some hardware or bin some of the software you like/have to use

The upgrade I am getting is absolutely free cos of the laptop I bought...... costs me nothing, zero, zip........... dont even have to pay postage from Holland. If it's free I am gonna send for it......... not saying I am gonna use it though :lol:
