Vista needs more memory than Windows for Supercomputers

Comments

With all the pre-SP1 hotfixes 1GB is enough...

Tested on notebooks Core T2300 with 1GB (512x2) Dual Channel 533MHz and the system under Vista with all pre-SP1 hotfixes installed manually (not automatically) and all useless services disabled (disk background indexer,automatic defragmenter) and GUI set to Vista Basic, the system is faster than XP SP2 with all the latest pre-SP3 hotfixes.

memory

under my testing on desktops
Vista X64 needs 2GB+
Vista X86 runs on 1.5GB RAM

Laptops use less RAM my HP TX1250 has 1GB RAM and runs alright.

I have found that the more RAM you have the more Vista uses

1.4 ghz?

1.4 Ghz... sounds Tualatin-esque
If it's it, it's a beast of a CPU. Which Intel cleverly killed to make room for the weak P4 Willamette...
