I've seen other computers that shipped with Vista Home Premium or Ultimate where it runs like shit a/n

Which isn't to say that it's perfect by any means, but it's really not that bad.

Neither of these are because the operating system needs more resources, but because unlike past versions of Windows, it's constantly exchanging information in and out. It's not because Vista needs more ram, it's that it needs free ram so it can freely move stuff around. Plus, the faster the ram, the less likely you are to bottleneck. I can truly attest to this, because when I have DDR1 Ram that was pretty slow, Vista ran like shit. After I got some half decent DDR2 ram though, Vista runs beautifully. And naturally a decent videocard, simply because Vista's desktop is now hardware accelerated, and you'd be cheating yourself out by not having one. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

Well, of course. Computer land is all about obsolete-upgrade-obsolete-upgrade. Vista takes more memory than XP, so it's obviously not going to run some games as well. Same as when XP came out.
