    I can't tell you that unless i know what your gonna use it for , say entertainment as in movies, music etc or games or jus plain browsing etc.

    on 512 vista is ok but 1 GB is good IMO. Ofcourse other factors like Processor , RAM (DDR or DDR2) , HDD speed cause some difference in whole.

    I use Gaim/Pidgin for Instant Messaging. But it doesn't have Video or even Voice Chatting feature.

    1 gb for "normal" operations
    at 2 gb you can expect good performance

    Yes, and you can do lot more
    nLite - Windows Installation Customizer

    How about not even to install them with Windows ?

    nLite is a tool for pre-installation Windows configuration and component removal at your choice. Optional bootable image ready for burning on media or testing in virtual machines.
    With nLite you will be able to have Windows installation which on install does not include, or even contain on media, the unwanted components.

    Features

    * Service Pack Integration
    * Component Removal
    * Unattended Setup
    * Driver Integration *
    * Hotfixes Integration **
    * Tweaks
    * Services Configuration
    * Patches ***
    * Bootable ISO creation

    yes moded installations are good for personal use if you are a frequent formatter ... actually what happens is that you never know when you will need a feature which you are currently leaving out as unnecessary ... isnt it!! i have used a few moded windows versions ... looks cool ... uses less resources ... but somewhere down the line causes a few problems like driver supports etc when we need those features later ...

    ya i have used nlite to integrate drivers into the setup disc, saves me a lot of time. but i rarely have to format nowadays, so my antivirus and windows updates and firefox are my real time savers ...

    i have not modded anything else. i like stuff in its originality .
    DON'T beam me up, Scotty!
