you might have noticed that, VISTA refused to install on the machine consisting 256 MB RAM. 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 |

Your onboard graphics chipset most likely has no RAM of its own, so robs a region of the system RAM for itself - in your case 64MB.I have a laptop that i bought with xp... it has 256 DDR ram chip, but for some reason the bios and windows only recognizes 191mb of it. Sometimes this amount can be changed in the BIOS, e.g. from 16MB-256MB. Thanks for the input, yes it is the graphics chipset, and i did change it gaining more ram... QUOTE (gigawiz @ Aug 27 2009, 07:30 AM) it's got a pentium 4 @ 2.80 ghz... Only advice I can suggest is to check for device & chipset drivers before installation so you're ready to roll, or at least are aware of which things don't have Vista-specific drivers for.Now ive been reading and i saw 1 post that said he blue screened on 128mb and i wanted to get some advice before i even tried installing. Any advice is thanked and pls don't tell me it's useless because of ram... ive seen it and know it.... And i checked, and all my hardware is supported just more ram... QUOTE (knight23 @ Aug 28 2009, 08:55 PM) Good guide for the ones with lower memory, but I dont suggest Vista on 256 MB of RAM, neither I would suggest it on any desktop / laptop as there is XP that is better for the ones with low memory and Windows 7 that is like a better Vista. True on that point, but i have a modified version of vista that runs great on my desktop that has 384mb ram... so im not worried...

And as far as your post, thank you all knowing one, but my xp installation wouldn't boot for me and i had to fix it... |
