This is not RAM. Of course Disk transfer speed is included in part of your score Windows Experience Index. I would guess this would rate a 5.4 or so.

I was able to install Windows 7 without issues on this board. I agree with casselkid, I doubt is the board. I'm more inclined to think is a bad RAM. Try installing with only one memory stick, if fails, try another.

Don't do it. I read a post from Cnet.com that reviewed a Atom 1.6 / 1.8 processor powered netbook with Vista and 1 GB of RAM and it was a slug. If memory serves me right it was a Dell. I have XP Pro on the MSI Wind with 1 GB or RAM and it has worked fine so far. But this is a loaner and I've only had it for 48 hours. So far I very impressed. I'm going to turn it loose in my middle school this week and see how it fairs with students and staff.As for Vista, it would make these little books to slow for their designed purpose of being netbooks. Though I have Vista on my personal laptop and love it, I just think it is too much for them. But someone might find a way to make it work. Don't do it.

I installed the 2 gig ram chip and saw a little improvement on my second life frame rate. (7 to 10 fps)It is usable, for getting into second life while on the road, I wouldn't want to do it for a long time, or at lest would not want to hook it up to an ext. monitor and mouse.

I am running Vista(32) and it works fine. I don't use the "what you hear" function. I don't think Win7(32bit) will have any issues with this card. But it would be worth your while to find out if it will work with 64bit Win 7 if you plan to install the 64bit version.

Heres the catch, tomshardware and numerous other technology websites have done experiments on if 4GB ram made any performance difference from 8GB. Every test comes out having more than 4 (currently) does nothing to improve performance.

Sorry but, I have no idea about Vista. I never had Vista and evidently, that is a good thing :} If I were you I would do whatever it takes to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8.

Willy dump vista and get seven, it's a better OS all the way around. You'll be happy you did.

I haven't done it yet, but it shouldnt't affect your ability to upgrade your ram. If anything it will only help your performance.

ram isnt expensive. installing is simple. im currently running 1gb ram and its fine for me. but with vista they reccomend 2gb of ram. it depends on what you plan on using the laptop for. if you plan on using it mainly for internet, word processing, and simple tasks then 1gb of ram is fine. if you plan on running many processes at once. (ie, music player, internet, word processing, and games) then i would reccommend 2gb of ram. makes your computer run a little faster

Yes. I bought this ages ago and it has been a champ for me since I got it, from XP to Vista to 7 to 8 RC, 8 release, and then 8.1.

No, this is Server Memory. I found out too late and I was beyond the return period. Now stuck with 2 sticks of perfectly good RAM that I cannot use.

I upgraded from Vista on 2 computers. it was a hands off success. Both of them work significantly better now.

Disappointed that it has only 4gb memory capability, hope that its a miss print can anybody confirm that? Don't know what to do now, the price of ram always goes down and the need for it always seems to increase.

Go to "control panel", then go to "system and security", then under the "system" see if it says RAM = 8.00GB. If it says so then yes. If it says 4.0 GB there, it has 4 GB.

I have no experience. There are Windows Vista drivers on Gigabyte's website for this board...so I can only assume...
