Upgrading Vista to XP ! - need to keep drivers !

[Chewie]

this is where i stop Chewie

I have a friend who was sucked in to buying a new pc with Vista and only 512K of RAM

@peat, am talking facts am trying to help them over come their wrong point of views, vista is much faster if you have correct hardware for it

talk out of your mind not your ass

Where you stop doing what?
Every new version of Windows requires more memory and processor power, why should Vista be any different? When XP was released there were plenty of people slagging it off as a performance degrader with nothing new but eye-candy.
This makes it a non-issue for me.

Whether the OP mentions that the system only has 512MB (not the 512KB he actually stated, BTW) or not has nothing to do with your statement that views other than your own are 'wrong'.

My son and daughter have Vista on an XP2400+ and Celeron 2.54GHz respectively, both with 1GB RAM and they're quite happy with lower performance compared to their previous XP installations.
peat and others disagree.
Like I said, it's subjective.
