Vista - High CPU Usage
Name: Procyon10 Date: January 14, 2007 at 06:46:20 Pacific OS: Windows Vista CPU/Ram: 3.06GHz & 512Meg RAM
Comment:
I've recently migrated to Windows Vista (MSDN). Although, after installing, it takes up all my CPU usage, has anyone had this problem? I know windows Vista needs atleast 1GB of RAM, Would my 512Meg make the CPU work more. Would my CPU be used less with more RAM?
Has anyone moved to Vista?
(I installed Business version as recommended by the Vista application that checked out what version I should install).

Minimum requirement with anything is almost always catch-22 IMO. Get at least another 512MB stick for your Vista machine, or deploy a thumb drive that you aren't using at the momemt via the "ReadyBoost" feature, till you can add more RAM.
