Only just decided to give it a go at home, has its issues, but seems to be settled now that a lot of the initial launch driver issues have been fixed

That cheeky, dell were cetainly selling pc with less than that came with vista installed. I think they were recomending 1gb at the time

TBF the microsoft website says you can use between 512-1024 as a minimum depending on version

Yeah, well they said a lot of things about Vista......

It WILL work with 1Gb, and even with less, but works best with more than 1Gb

Also, turn off the Sidebar for a better experience - dont just hide it, right click on the icon next to the clock and click on exit - and check/uncheck the box to stop it starting up next time you reboot

More than 1 gb you all say? Well, thats me out of getting vista...256 Mb is all my laptop can muster up...
