Not sure that it would make too much of a difference for loading the OS - but I am rapidly being convinced that any version of Vista benefits from 2Gbytes of RAM.

656847 2008-04-07 11:57:00 Interesting enough, i bought a new laptop today, Against my better judgement its not only a hated HP, its also running Vista Premium with all the bells and whistles, and only has 1GB of ram.

Goes like a rocket.

weird.

656848 2008-04-07 15:33:00 how much stuff is loading up at startup ?........if you have norton a/v that's guaranteed to slow down the startup it's a crap antivirus progam and it's bloatware and well known for being a resource hog and slowing down loadup times dramatically...... drcspy (146)

656850 2008-04-07 22:07:00 How slow is slow ??

Example: I have a customers Toshiba A200 2.0CPU, with 1 Gb RAM, running Vista Business - it has Nod32 AV installed. ( second New laptop this week, both start around the same time frame, the other has a 1.7 CPU)

Start up times (and I did actually time this) from completely off / press the power button to the start Orb showing 30 Seconds, total start up time fully funning from off, 70 seconds.

As drcspy said if you have nortons that will put on the hand brake.
