Default Vista Sucks Through RAM!

My dad brought his brand new laptop buy today. Of course, it had Vista. He asked if 2GB of RAM was a lot. I said that 2GB is a ton for anyone not doing hardcore workstation type of work (video editing, hardcore graphics design, r audio recording).

He was playing a tune on Windows Media Player and he had one window open in Internet Explorer.

I was curious how much RAM he was using. It turned out to be 1GB! Holy hell! That's a TON! I'm using XP with 20 windows open in Maxthon (similar to IE), 2 instances of Open Office, Dreamweaver, and Outlook open and I'm only using 357MB of RAM.

It's a good thing RAM is cheap these days!

Brandon
