copperco2 24 Report post Posted February 5, 2007 I agree with Vikalp. Even the online store circuit city has most of the laptops going with ram at 1gb. time is not too far when it becomes the norm rather than choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrajiv 1 Report post Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) well willing to install vista ...know that it will need more RAM but one thing is poopping in my mind wont it run on my conventional computer...as i use winxp on them,......its pentium IV 1.5 ghz, and whats this bull **** concept of thumb drive ..whenever you feel your system is slow inject in thuumb drive and experience the thrill..Vis(TA)hal please cleaer it Hi, U need 1 GB RAM to run Vista smoothly...if you have 512 MB RAM additionally u can plug in your 512 MB pen drive so than the performance would be smoother........ 1 GB is mandatory for VISTA to run smoothly...... so thats where your pen drive could be useful in enhancing your VISTA speed. regards rajiv Edited February 5, 2007 by coolrajiv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imvikky 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2007 I read somewhere that Altho you can use Flashdrive or a pen drive as a Hard disk it is not possible to use a normal pendrive as a RAM... Reasons given where a RAM is supposed to be volatile n fast in storing and a USB flashdisk is supposed to be non volatile n hence comparatively slower... so it was mentioned that it is uneconomical n useless to try using pendrive for the purpose instead there are some spl pendrives which are intended for the same purpose.... you can use them... if someone has got a doubt in what i said then i'll google for the same page n post a link over here...

Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted February 5, 2007 The feature u guys r talking about is "Ready Boost" and it was designed to make the Vista boot faster and not to run Vista faster. U can use the Ready Boost enabled pen drives to boot ur system faster. If u'll use them while working on Vista, u'll loose ur pen drive very soon coz there is a limit (like 3000 times) we can write data on pen drives. And u'll also not get a major performance difference while running Vista with pen drives. But yes using these drives while booting Vista makes the boot process very fast.
