One of the scandals of that era was Microsoft purposefully lowering the hardware requirements for Vista so that lower end PCs could get the all important Vista sticker.
I was in tech support at the time, and a ton of cheap HPs came in that were sold with vista and 2gb of ram.
- gambiting 5y ago2GB would have been fine. I still remember a bunch of Fujitsu laptops that we got at work, all with the "Vista Ready" sticker and 512GB of ram - they were almost unusably slow, but XP ran absolutely fine with the same amount of ram. 2GB would have been a massive improvement.
