Vista and the Quest for More Memory

With Windows Vista needing 512mb as a minimum and 1GB of ram as a recommended size now seems like a good time for users to be thinking about putting more ram in their PCs. It also begs the question as to why so many new PCs come with less than 1GB or ram and many with as little as 256MB. Don't buy a PC with less than 512MB and certainly think about 1GB as a min. Of course pure memory size is not the whole story. When you consider than many base systems use graphics cards which use a shared memory buffer the situation becomes more severe.
