Is Vista worth it?

[OJ beater]

true i wouldnt buy less than 512 even if your on a budget save 40 dollars and get it , xp is ram hog , well now vista is i guess

Well 512mb is actually ok for XP as long as you dont fill it up with loads of startup programs and things like that.

why not save $40(?) on the lisence and get a copy of windows 2000, it does everything XP does (same kernel) with less resources and you dont have the risk of your machine being shutoff by WGA.
