Post Number: 1675 Registered: Mar-07	Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2008 - 21:28 GMT "If you're going to run Vista you should up your ram to 4gigs" Amen. 2 gigs is almost minimum just to run the OS with basic features. And since you're planning on gaming, I would go ahead and get 4. You would be surprised at the difference in performance.
