Microsoft pushes customers to pay for unusable DRAM !

Until I had do downgrade some 40 Vista laptops in my company I didn't believe it is possible.
The reason? They were so slow and so unreliable, the downgrade was the only choice. HP representative informed us that 1GB of DRAM those lapotops had installed, is not recommended Vista's MINIMUM memory size.
Their proposed solution? 4GB of DRAM upgrade and Vista SP1. Then, many things will go faster and better.
Nice, but seems STILL twice slower than the same hardwer under XP+SP3. Right?.
Beside, 32bit Vista is unable to recognize more than 3GB of memory !
How to use all my installed, but partially unusable DRAM? To install 64bit Vista, significantly slower?.
And all the necessary patches. Then you will finally get great, slow, DRAM upgradable Vista system.
But hmmm, do you need it at all?
