benifin Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) Hi nuhiJust wondering - with your next Vlite version update [hopefully still] due in the next week or so, are we likely to see a further reduction in the Vista Vlite RAM footprint ?With the current 1.1beta, a clean Vista Ultimate - fully stripped install on a 2gig RAM machine - with just the audio, chipset and video drivers loaded [no applications or utilities running in startup - ie: zero MSConfig items checked] I get appox. a 250meg <-> 280meg RAM footprint.nuhi - do you think the your next version update will impact on the RAM footprint ?Again, many thanks,Ben Edited November 15, 2007 by benifin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 There are some components removable in the new one that are always loaded and once removed it will lower it but nothing drastic.Out on Monday, no comments until then.If you have less than 1GB of RAM upgrade it now, it is so cheap these days. I just bought another 2GB and now have 4GB, Vista takes it all to cache and it flies. To not get you confused the reason why I remove components is that they get in the way and take resources which are not there to be spent on the OS itself (Crysis anyone?)

Foxxx428 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Let's not forget about Readyboost. If you are extremely low on memory and are looking to run Vista, have a look here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvind Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 @nuhi.. just curious, do you remove superfetch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Not any more. I saw that Firefox starts faster with it so I leave it.In my latest install I kept:Aero, IE, Media Scheduler, Superfetch, App Experience, Game Explorer (but this one won't survive next reinstall).

arvind Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 i also just upgraded to 4gb. but the problem is that vista won't install with anything more than 3gb unless i apply the kb929777 update. had to remove one stick, install vista, install the update and then put in the 4th stick. just wanted to know if vista would install fine if i integrated the hotfix with vlite. anybody else tried this? cause otherwise it's a pain in the a** to keep removing one memory stick every time i need to reinstall..http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=929777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Finally! someone with that issue.I have prepared a kb929777 workaround if the integration alone doesn't help you.Contact me on PM for the test version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
