Re: FUD? By Rich Bryant

"For once, MS are the victim of deliberate FUD and of course, fanboy ignorance. Vista doesn't really need any more RAM to be "usable" than XP does. It just caches the stuff in advance so you'll rarely see less than 50% memory allocation."

I'm sorry - I'm a geek, but not a techie, so I might be reading the above incorrectly, but doesn't "...you'll RARELY see LESS than 50% memory allocation," mean that you'll MOSTLY see the OS taking MORE THAN 50% of the memory...?

...And this is a good thing, how...?
