 Windows Vista Tips & Tricks
Add more RAM
There’s no denying it: Vista is a RAM-hungry operating system. Whereas XP usually runs great on 512MB, you really need a minimum of 1GB to run Vista acceptably — 2GB is even better. And if you turn on all the graphical features and keep a lot of programs open (especially those that use a lot of memory), then 4GB isn’t overkill.
Luckily, RAM is still relatively inexpensive — but it’s rumored to be on the rise, so get as much of it as you can, while you can. You won’t regret it. |
