Vista Memory

I've read where 1gb of memory is whats needed for Vista... anyone running the betas have any input, 2gb or 4gb better? Just looking to buy some ram, wasn't sure what is going to be needed. Thanks in advance.

It's the same as XP in many way....The more the merrier...But it also depends on what else you do with the machine...

I ran Vista with 512 and it did just fine...

Memory management, in general, is much better in Vista with SuperFetch. Also, keep in mind it's not just RAM that you can add with Vista - you can use USB flash drives as ReadyBoost memory.
