ok heres my question when i got my PC it had windows XP and i had 512 mb of ram but my mom wanted me to get Vista. So when she upgraded it i then only had 448 mb of ram
. I was like what the heck i can barely even play my pc games or mmorpgs without horrible lag. I would just buy more RAM but it cost to much. So yeah my questions are....
1. How do i downgrade back to XP?
2. If i were to downgrade back will all my information and files still be there?
3. If i did downgrade will i have how much RAM i started with when I had XP or will it be lower then what i had with Vista?
please reply back someone!!!

Unless you want to go through the time and trouble of reformatting your hard drive and reinstalling Windows XP from scratch, I would suggest you purchase and install 2GB of RAM and Windows Vista will perform better than Windowx XP.

It all depends on the type of RAM your computer was designed to use. RAM is pretty inexpensive nowadays.Sunday, June 8, 2008 11:48 PMModerator
