basic Q - how much memory req'd for Vista 64?

[simon1980111]

I'm going to be running a Q9550 with 8Gig ram and a GTX9800 Vid Card, how much hard drive memory should I have for this (I usually have about 7 int exp pages open, downloading stuff in the background etc)???

Are you asking what size page file or what size hard drive? Assuming you mean page file, then not much, some people set it to zero with that much RAM but since some apps look for a page file regardless of RAM size most of us are setting it to minimum size which, IIRC, is 512.

Hard Drive Space??

Matters not, just so long as you meet/beat the minimums.

If you are talking about Page File size - Some programs look for the page file and get rather upset if it isn't htere. REcommend setting to 512MB.
