You need to double your RAM with Vista - that’s it’s major downside. I am happy with my Toshiba laptop that runs Vista (almost 3 years) but I had to pay for more computing power.
Mines a Toshiba too. It came with 524(?) ram, and I doubled. Now I notice most is 2 to 4 gig of ram. Simply unbelievable when my first computers were Radio Shack and my first “real” computer was a Tandy 1000TX.
But I am a dinosaur. I still have to go to command prompt to “mkdir”

No it isn’t. Most pc’s come with 2 gigs or more of ram and if they don’t you can easily pick up 2 gigs for around 20 dollars or so. Not exactly a deal breaker. The problem with Vista has been it’s dependency on a gpu that is DirectX 9 compatible.
