you'll need 4 gig of ram for audio software as vista uses up nearly a full 1 gig by itself.
personally id ask around for a computer thats backwards compatible with xp and use that instead. vista still has a lot of driver issues that havent been sorted out.
i think there is a way of using xp from the disk off me old pc was just wondering wether i should look into it - if it uses a gig then i think i will - cheers
