Re: Switch to Vista or stick with XP?

I would suggest you install both and try it. Your PC config is good. I am running vista on 1GB ram, Ahtlon X2 1.9 GHZ and Nvidia chipset. Works fine but 2 GB will be very good for vista.

Vista is good when it comes to internet wifi problems and it looks beautiful. But Vista uses like 600 MB of ram on startup where as XP only uses ~200 something.

When u install fresh vista it might be a little slow in startup but then it addapts automatically. My laptop boots within 1 min to a workable desktop.

And i think after SP2 it will eat up more resources. I still remember that XP used to run on my 128 MB ram where as XP SP2 wont run as smooth as the earlier version of XP (before SP1).
