"My efforts to get Media Center working highlighted two big
problems
with Vista. First, it's a memory hog. The hundreds of new
features
jammed into it have made it a prime example of software bloat,
perhaps the quintessence of programmer Niklaus Wirth's law that
software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster (for more
on
the problems with software design that lead to bloat,
see "Anything
You Can Do, I Can Do Meta," p. 36). Although my computer meets
the
minimum requirements of a "Vista Premium Ready PC," with one
gigabyte
of RAM, I could run only a few simple programs, such as a Web
browser
and word processor, without running out of memory. I couldn't
even
watch a movie: Windows Media Player could read the contents of
the
DVD, but there wasn't enough memory to actually play it. In
short,
you need a hell of a computer just to run this OS."
Fill your memory up to it's limit. If you can get 4 gigs of mem.
into your computer, go for it. Mark
I was worried this might be the case. I'll stick with XP for now.
