There is absolutely no way to install Vista RC1 or above on systems having memory less than 512 MB :(
From RC1 MS hv changed the system requirements to min. of 512 MB RAM :)

This is the stupidity of Microsoft that they have created heaviest windows,it slows down even on 1GB DDR2 RAM,Vista require atleast 512MB RAM to run,you can't run it if you have below the minimum RAM.

I dont know what those people from MS thinks. Perhaps, they want us 2 just install the OS and then hv a party without installing any 3rd party softwares.

Lol ! Bill gates still says 640K RAM is enough for PC :D

If you are a hardcore game and want to run games on Vista smoothly then you must have 4GB DDR2 RAM and a high end graphic card.
