Hi Dominic,
I am just about to check out the article but for what it's worth, Vista has
already been installed on this system with 1GB or memory. However, it will
not boot from the HDD (or DVD for that mater, which I'm sure will be covered
by the article) with more than 2GB of memory installed.
Still, shall report back if I find any useful info.
