Windows Vista - Memory Management is based on the avaiable memory of the current PC if you have more memry it will use and and if you have less it will use less .
in the following articale you can see a screenshot of vista runing on 512MB machine and uses 237MB only
it is very intrestin g reading and short also

That's good news, many people will be happy if the Vista will be able to run on weaker computers and less upgrading will be needed.
Great read, thanks.

i saw the article as well. I am not sure exactly how much it needs but my own experience is that vista do uses more memory/resource than xp. If feels sluggish but maybe that will get imprvoed with new revision as we gets closer to the release date.

It is only natural for a new operating system to consume more memory than its previous version, we saw that in the past...
Every time a new OS is out, memory manufacturers are celebrating ;)
