One thing about Vista is that it's a memory hog. The laptop you buy

upgrade to 2GB to get performance like the same machine would give you

that 1GB by filling both slots with .5GB SODIMMs, which means that you
will end up with two wasted chips. *******s!

Which is nonsense. I've been running Vista (Premium) quite a while and
with 1GB it runs fine, comparable with XP Pro. Only due to the intense
need of memory, mainly from Pro/E and Catia, combined expecially I
upgraded to 3GB.
