Wow, now you tell me. Anyways, I do have 2 GB of ram memory and an Nvidia
Geforce 7300 LE graphics card. It has a 64-bit memory interface (I'm not
sure if that refers to the same thing as mb of ram).
All this is kind of a mute point now - because after discovering another
(recuring) problem of both my Rom drives missing, I finally had had enough
and un-installed Vista and returned my PC to XP Media and to its original
factory settings.
I gave Vista several, (like...4 or 5), attempts counting my laptop (a
separate, genuine license). And I'm talking at least 3 or 4 full, clean
installs. Right now, it just seems like an obstacle course where the odds
are stacked against you.
Vista is a gorgeous program. It'll be more usable when the rest of the
computer world joins up with it.
