Hi Erin, Kathy and list, I personally think that a dual core processor still wins. As Erin and others mentioned, any single core processors above 2 GHz is fine - in dual core scenarios, I heard that processors as slow as 1.4 or 1.6 GHz works with Vista as well. Cheers, Joseph P.S. I have 1.86 GHz processor with 1 GB of RKM - no problems.
