Just hit the presses, 4 GB May Be Vista’s RAM Sweet Spot. As usual, slashcrap quotes half the story to make MS look bad. I’m running vista with around two dozen programs running, and my physical ram usage is at 58%, and I have 2 gigs of ram. I never had a problem running Vista with 1 gig either. With the usage patterns of 90% of the population, 1 gig is more than enough for Vista, and at today’s prices for ram, it would be silly to go with any less.

In addition, the slashcrappers demonstrate their ignorance with comments that show they don’t understand the difference between physical ram and address space.
