Windows Microsoft is banking on enhancements to what it has dubbed the fundamentals to entice enterprises to upgrade to the next version of Windows, known as Vista. The company will use upcoming industry shows to sing the praises of improvements to the Windows networking stack and secure networking techniques such as server and domain isolation to sell both Vista and Longhorn, the planned update to Windows Server.

Expect dimm sizes to suddenly increase.
2GB will probably become new base size with power users choosing 4GB, 8GB or more.
Vista will run much better in 2GB of ram than it does in 1GB, this will be partly due to enhanced cache systems and partly due to the fact that this is a SERVER OS that has wobbled its way onto the desktop as probably the most bloated and leaky operating system ever created for the PC.
