Want to install windows 8 x64 on a windows vista based computer and i only has 1 gig ram and a (amd 64 x2 dual core proceccor) is it recommended
 


Yes it will be quite slow. A consequence of larger data types is that they have a larger memory footprint. Even the 32 bit versions of Windows Vista had no business ever being installed on a system with only 1GB of memory.
