    Is this the initial boot from the CD or is a subsequent reboot during the install process. If it's the initial install, you could manually copy the i386 folder and run winnt .

    How does this thing run Vista so well?

    Actually ram is the least of the concerns when considering Vista... I fact the major requirement to run Vista is the HDCP factor ...M/B, GPU & monitor with HDCP/HDMI.

    ddr2-533 cl4 vs ddr2-667 cl5 ?

    Really kinda depends on what CPU you have and what your primary uses are. But to answer your question ..........Most Cl 3 522 can reach 667 @ Cl 4 with a little tweaking.. 1Gb may be fine for you but most prefer 2Gb ......but again t depends on what you are doing.

    Confused about what ram for a particular motherboard.

    It def ends a lot on what you do, Games,video & hhotoshop...etc The beta /RC versions of Vista have been quite heavy on memory, I topped 2gb usage on RC2 X64 while running multiple task. Maybe the retail version will be a bit lighter on ram. If you do normal stuff 1Gb Will be fine.

    What chips are in my RAM?

    oops yeah Recommend- "DDR2-800 - CAS 4-4-4-12 @ 2.0V" Tthere is not too much variance between 1.95V and 2.0V, so if your motherboard supports it, I would say just go ahead and stick with 2.0V to be safe

    How much memory do I really need?

    As for future proof I would say HDCP would be a definite requirement. And a card(s) that are direct-x 10 . A decent 256 or 512 that has DDR4 and these capability's is what to go for.
