    which bandwidth monitor is the best suited for vista in your opinion ? In XP i used to use the bandwidth monitor pro,but this doesnt seem to be working with vista. i really loved this program and its cool features. is there any way to make it work on vista
    (it doesnt detect the network adapter- i tried compatibility mode that doesnt work). however pls suggest some bandwidth monitoring tools

    kuncheese, you have 2GB of RAM, what else are you going to do with it? When I had 2GB, I would run Sidebar, Firefox, Thunderbird, and Word, and HL2 CS:S and have ZERO problems...all while running Vista x64...use the sidebar!

    Having Porsche 959 doesnt mean u have to run it at 120 MPH always...

    And Apart from memory.. the Program has lot of CPU usage... so it slows down the comp.

    lol when it comes to ram, i want the most i can get. 2 gb is probably sufficient for what i do which includes surfing, light gaming, school, aim, hw, etc.
    needa upgrade to 3gb soon >:O
