People tell me you need 1GB just to run Vista (installed on a disk) but apparently that rule doesn't apply to people who get them with Vista already installed.

The requirements are exactly the same whether or not you have it preinstalled or install it from a disk.

512mb is okay for vista but it runs slow, and 1gb is even better, if you plan on runnig lots of programs at once.

Maybe that's it...why it's running slow, I mean.

I say you need 2GB of ram to run vista comfortably. Maybe it's just the stuff I run though. My computer is using 932mb right now, running flash and a web page.

From my experience, 2GB seems to be the "sweet spot" of Vista. It's the most memory that you can put in and actually notice a difference in everyday tasks. I just like to go overboard, so I have 4GB. I do some video editing from time to time with Adobe Premiere, so I need a lot, I guess.
