Been using Vista for the past week & I’ve only put on the bare essentials software wise, Oooo it looks pretty but the amount of memory this thing chews up is abysmal.
Spec of the PC I’ve got it on is a P4 Northwood with 1GB RAM & nVidia 7800GS+ 512MB, with it just sitting there minding its own business it leaves less than 64MB of physical RAM free.
Well 256MB of RAM has been reserved for graphics apparently on top of the cards 512MB which should leave me with 768MB free & clear, were the hell did that go & what on earth is being stored in the 400MB+ that’s currently written to the swapfile.
BTW the only other software installed at this point are the Creative drivers, nVidia driver & AVG Anti Virus.
