Vista uses as much as is avialable, there is no normal use, it depends on
the individual sys

I am running Vista with 1gb Ram without any problems. It is a bit slow,
but does not show using all my ram most times. I would like to have 2gb,
but that is NOT possible at the moment.

System Requirements stated by Microsoft in the past have invariably been
lower than many users need to achieve a satisfactory performance. Some
users can achieve a satisfactory performance because their requirements
and expectations are less. The problem you will encounter is that
requirements increase rather than decrease as the operating system gets
updated and the user tries newer gadgets.

The graphics card on my system is the factor producing the lowest score.
The motherboard prevents me from changing to a better graphics card.
