Eldmannen Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I am curious to; * How much memory does Windows Vista use after installation, without any additional third-party software installed? * How much memory does Windows Vista use if you trim it down, and disable unnecessary stuff?

Administrator Tarun Posted February 26, 2007 Administrator Share Posted February 26, 2007 I am curious as to why people worry about memory usage when; * Users can have and are not limited to 4GB of RAM or more. * Users can have large hard drives as well, even up to 1TB in size.

Eldmannen Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Well, that costs. You can have 131072 CPU's, 32768 gb RAM and have computing power of 100+ TFLOPS too. But it just isn't common place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of us are Bill Gate's love child and can afford the ultimate best..... hmmm, must try for a DNA check, never know my luck.... And, yeah, I'm also interested to know how much memory Vista sucks up. Cheers :cake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Technically, Vista should run fine on 512MB of RAM. But it all comes down to driver support and software installed - I've not had good luck with anything less than 1GB of RAM for Vista Home Premium or higher, although Home Basic seems to be just fine on 512MB of RAM.
