Tnguy is the best way to go you should listen to what he said i did this all before he did but it works great i am adding the 4 gig that will help as well Report It


I too just bought a laptop with Vista Premium on it and 1 GB of RAM. I don't find it to be so bad. However, I plugged in a 4 GB flash drive that has Memory Boost capabilities (it's cool that Vista can do this) just to help out the RAM situation a bit. I highly doubt that much more then 1 GB or so of that 4 GB can be converted but it all helps.

Earlier this year we bought a new Dell with Vista Premium and 2 GB of RAM and we did the same thing with plugging in the flash drive and I'm telling you it's like one of the fastest computers out there now, period. Good luck!
Completely uninstall Vista and put XP on it.
go into controll panel and chose system and then change your visual settings to best performance.
