I guess I shouldn't have exaggerated when I said "4 gb of ram". Anandtech said awhile back that 2gb was the sweet spot for Vista. Vista Ultimate worked fine for me with 1gb of ram but obviously without any heavy multitasking. The performance characteristics for me are really a secondary concern. Moving to Vista makes alot more sense if you have a dual-core machine, which I do not.

This might sound really stupid but the main reason I am not currently moving to Vista is because I don't care for the look and feel of the GUI. The other complaints about the buggy and/or incompatible software/hardware (if you are too lazy to do research) were secondary reasons as to why I don't move to Vista. I guess I'm not a fan of the whole "Windows vs. Mac" thing and its too bad that they have to move the product in that direction. Personally I like a fast interface and call me old fashioned but I don't think you should need 4 gb of ram in order to have it either. I think the other thing is that it has taken me years to get my machine (A64/Nvida 6150) the way I want it and I'd like to enjoy it for awhile before I have to perform a serious upgrade.
