This is a common question, trying to decide the best amount of Physical RAM for your computer running Vista. Even though Microsoft recommend 1GB to run Vista smoothly, that is not really enough unless all you do is browse emails and internet. At the price RAM sells at now, there is really no excuse to say that RAM is too expensive / Vista uses too much. At under $20/gig, you can easily stock up on 2GB and not break the bank.
Windows Vista Basic
Minimum = 512MB (0.50GB)
Recommended = 1,024MB (1.00GB)
Gareth's Bloggie recommends = 1,536MB (1.50GB)
Windows Vista Home Premium
Mimimum = 1,024MB (1.00GB)
Recommended = 1,024MB (1.00GB)
Gareth's Bloggie recommends = 2,048MB (2.00GB)
Windows Vista Business
Mimimum = 1,024MB (1.00GB)
Recommended = 1,024MB (1.00GB)
Gareth's Bloggie recommends = 1,536MB (1.50GB)
Windows Vista Ultimate
Mimimum = 1,024MB (1.00GB)
Recommended = 1,024MB (1.00GB)
Gareth's Bloggie recommends = 3,072MB (3.00GB)
You may need more than the bloggies recommended, but going with less certainly impacts your computers overall performance.
