My laptop runs with the XP pro and the wifey's is with the Vista Home. I really want to think that Vista is really a good OS that can super seed the XP in the future but I can't. Even with 2GB Ram the start up is l.ike forever, opening any files is same too. Too heavy I guess.

My wife's laptop has 2GB of RAM and it runs great. it came with 1GB and it was ok, but adding another Gig really helped out.

XP blows with 512MB of RAM, I remember when I first got XP I had 256MB of RAM and it sucked. and the recommended amount on any Windows OS is ridiculous, you should always double it. I couldnt imagaine the time it would take to open programs with 64MB of RAM, I found a comp at work the other day that had 128MB of RAM and it took forever to run anything, or to even switch windows.
