James and all, I absolutely never gave this a thought, so thanks for the reminder. Sorry for suggesting such a stupid thing.

Hi all, note that depending on what processor is in the netbook, having a high amount of RAM may not help. You've got to think about the read and right speeds of the hard drive, and the speed of the processor. If you had a 500 MHZ processor for example, no matter if you had 1 or 10 GB of RAM Vista would still not perform very well.On Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at 06:45 PM (GMT), Chris Hallsworth wrote: That's what I said. If someone upgrades to 2GB of RAM virtualization, even for Vista guests, will run fine despite the slow performance you get with virtualization. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: CH9675@xxxxxxxxxxx MSN: CH9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266----- Original Message ----- From: "Negoslav Sabev" <negi4a@xxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 6:39 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Vista on a NetbookYes, but don't virtualize on the netbook, because if you have 1gb ram, it won't let you run vista, cause you need to give the virtual machine at least 1gb, and you have only one gb, and it's used by your real computer. The virtual machine uses your real ram and hard drive space for storring the virttual hard disks.Negoslav----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 8:49 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Vista on a NetbookYes. Vista would be too slow for 1 GB of RAM, even if it's the recommend amount. 2 GB is excellent for best results. Also, he could run virtualization software and create a virtual machine and operate Vista that way. Actually, virtualization is strongly recommended since you don't need to think about hardware and software requirements like you would have to if you were installing Vista for real.-- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: CH9675@xxxxxxxxxxx MSN: CH9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 5:09 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Vista on a NetbookMaybe you will be able to use Vista but the guy in Curry's said to me that Vista would be too slow on the NC10. Maybe he meant with the 1GB RAM.Eleanor----- Original Message ----- From: SaqibTo: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 4:45 PM Subject: [access-uk] Vista on a NetbookHi. Is it possible to install Vista on a netbook? I'm thinking of getting a netbook and want to use Vista on it. I know I'll have toincrease the RAM to 2GB to get a decent performance out of it but I don'tknow if these Netbooks are built to have Vista installed on them. I will be browsing for a netbook and the Samsung NC10 will be amongst my thoughts. I think it will be a toss up between the NC10 and the Advent 4213 which is a mobile broadband netbook as it has a simcard slot. Both machines are priced the same at £322.96.-- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 5.7 million users fighting spam.
