after some more testing and removal it now only uses 300 mb of ram which is very very good for vista and my xp only uses 30megs to run my nlited xp was only 90 megs and my new vlited vista is now down to 500 even keep in mind the install file is only 400 mb and the boot file is the other 100 it only uses 4 gigs to install and that with the 2 gig page file
