hi agin xiaopeng my mac mini is for xmas so only 4 days 2 go my Nanna is going to get me the 1gb ram module so ill try that also when vista comes our it should run grate on 1gb ram because it still kinda in the test stage RTM is a bit better but microsoft i read are making last minute tweaks and changes to vista so i think it should run fine even on 512mb ram but still 1gb i will need for video editing etc

xiaopeng – nope, not tried that. Come to think of it, I’ve not tried RTM yet. Must give that a go.

Ryan – If you’re getting a Mac Mini, I’d get _at least_ 1gb of ram. That’s what I’ve got in my machine, and I’ve found even that struggles. Much as I’d like 2gb, I can’t afford it. Or justify it. I’ll be posting about that another time…

how much ram are you using im getting a mac mini core duo 1.66ghz with 512mb ram for christmas will vista run on that, do you just use boot camp to install it like it were windows xp and use the drivers cd whats OS X makes to install sound drivers graphics etc

have you tried the following method:

install xp first, then boot with vista cd.
after boot, delete the efi partition 200mb, then install vista on the xp partition
