After reading that Vista will suck up 800mb of RAM(without anything else running) and 7 Gigs of HDD space, I was wondering if it would wise to move up to Windows Vista once it comes out or wait for a couple of years before trying the jump...or just putting a Linux version. If those specs are true, I don't think I will switch, really, thats just insane. Most of people here probably runs with 512 to 1gb of RAM. ------------------------------------------ "It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both."

Where did you hear that? It sounds dodgy as hell to say that it will use 800mb of RAM JForce The Arrow Project N.W.A Reprezent

Very funny duk.
I don't recognize the fella from any of our cylo....er.......linux tech forum party down below. I'm one of those linux fellas, and you didn't see MOI' trolling.
As for vista, as its in beta, final specs won't be firmed up till later. If we 'Nix'ers' were to troll it would be about DRM and licensing issues as well as cost at this point.
I've actually heard/read multiple versions of how many resources Vista will take, varying from about the same (as XP) to way over a gig for optimal use. And, as always, with betas............take em' all wit a grain of salt.

I wouldnt be suprised if that is true (700-800mb ram) coz I remember when M$ office was a dos applic with a few hundred kb, and the a win app with a few mb, now its huger then ever and its still growing, as does windows. M$ allways managed to slowdown our CPU to its knees. Conspiration with Intel? Who would be suprised anyways...
Of coz vista will run with 512mb, for that the swap will proove its usefulness... using HDD space as ram to hide its real use. Old trick of M$.
