Re: Aero and 1 gig On my laptop, it initially had 1 gig installed, and with Aero enabled, and just at the desktop, it was using a little over half of that gig. The machine ran quite well using a browser, and with a couple of programs open. I added another gig (2 gigs total), and now I have 1.37 gigs of free memory, and boot-up and shut-down are much quicker. In fact everything is noticably quicker. I should also mention that this machine has a Nvidia Go 7600 256 mg. graphics card (dedicated) installed.
Highly recommend 2 gigs when you can get it.
