Now you can install Vista on 256 MB RAM machine replacing the file on your DVD or Source. Eg:- X:\vista\sources\winsetup.dll But it is not recommended to install VISTA on just 256MB RAM. Hope u upgrade ur RAM soon Download Patched Winsetup.dll This post has been edited by Nepali: Feb 24 2007, 09:25 AM
