thx. which other OS do u use, how do u compare it to vista with regards to RAM use
I have used Vista and except from the basic eyecandy,i found it really slow and not of any use.though XP too is not perfect either.but XP may be better.
I use Debian Sid GNU/Linux.Linux can do almost anything except gaming(due to lack of support from game companies as with mac)/few games are there,that will work like a charm.office,multimedia all other things are supported in linux.aero feels like antique piece when compared to Linux use of compiz-fusion or beryl.
despite all this a standard Gnome Linux(ubuntu,fedora etc) can live with 256 MB of RAM with 3D compiz and eyecandies.
see compiz-fusion effects below:

if you are interested in Linux,get a Ubuntu dvd with this month's Digit.use it!save reducing e-waste too.Vista pushed the need for high config pc's(min ram=1GB for avg performance+graphics card!) to run hence in many countries blind followers dump their otherwise usefull pc for vista.read below link:
