re: Vista RAM "sweet spot" is definitely 1GB Wednesday, January 10, 2007 at 6:07 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sean (254 messages posted) I would say to even have 1.5 to 2gb of RAM for Vista. Especially if you are a gamer. With my system just idle my cpu usage is 40-50% and is using 400-500mb of ram. My video card only has 128mb of memory 9600XT AIW) though. Not sure if that makes a difference. My cpu is an AMD64 4000+ On Wednesday, December 6, 2006 at 9:02 am, Dan Sarandrea, MCSE wrote: >My Vista PC was running one module of 512MB RAM because at the time I built it, there >were no good deals on RAM and I was in no big hurry to play with Vista at the moment. > >However, since RC2 was distributed I have been using the Vista PC more and more for >general computing.
