Just think its not so long ago we would dream of having 1gb of ram.

It shows my age but I can remember the outcry when OS/2 2.0 was released and it required 4MB ram to work well. OS/2 1.3 you see was lightning fast with only 1.5MB ram. Those were the days

I would blame the retailer that sold her a Vista box with so little RAM.

Tell me about it... just moved jobs get to the new place and the so called IT proffesional has given me a vista pc with 1gb of ram.... inexcusable ineptitude given that he was briefed that the pc would be intensively used for bulk mailing production.

This is getting totally OT but what do you expect from a machine from PC Hell that had been bought and given to her by an innocent friend. If I was allowed to get my hands on it I'd put XP on it along with Avast Free and it would fly along.

The main thing is that she's very happy to have internet for £4/month cheaper so thankyou Plusnet. The 12 month minimum contract is unimportant in this case. It was 12 months and not the 18 which seems to apply to new customers.
