Are you talking about running the Ultimate, Premium, or basic? Im am sure that I could run the basic and maybe the premium on a laptop that I have that's almost four years old....1.4 processor and a 1024 memory......When I loaded the Vista Ultimate on my mega laptop it was what some might consider slow until I went into start up programs and shut everything down that I did not use......Now it's just super fast......But the same thing would apply If you were using any OS.....I am always amazed at how many running applications people have going on their computers at start up that they don't need running.....I think there are alot of people who don't know how to turn them off......When I installed vista everything was checked in start up...There must have been fifteen or twenty things checked....Now I have four. And I can tell you that navigating this forum is So much faster using vista then it was with XP.....Things load so much faster....Also I have a single core processor on my newest computer the Dell XPS M170 and I stopped at eight different websites that I opened and it it was as fast as having just one open.....I think the duo core is just overkill for the average user.....I don't know to many people that have ten or fifteen websites or applications running at one time......
