Ron, The rule of thumb with software minimum requirements is to double everything they say for optimum use. Therefore, doubling the 1GB for full use would result in the 2GB quoted. As for the 20GB of free disk space: The more space you can give it the better off you are.

If you decide to upgrade to Vista, you will first need to see if your computer has what it takes to run it. (unquote) The 2 GB is considerably more than the minimum of 512MB quoted by Microsoft as being sufficient for the basic use of Vista and they only quote a maximum of 1 GB for full use. They also state a minimum of 40GB HDD with 15GB free, again I expect this is for the basic. Would someone like to explain where the higher figures come from please.
