With Vista 1 GB is sufficient as long as you give _ALL_ of it to that OS (sic). With anything less, Vista would be a dog. Adding the overhead of VB and eliminating any possibility of SMP would only make it worse. My guess is that one would need 2 GB in the host to run Vista as a guest. I have 3 GB on my current laptop, which triple boots 64-bit openSUSE 10.3, 64-bit Kubuntu 8.04, and 32-bit Vista Home Premium. With that much RAM and SP1 installed, Vista actually works pretty well, as much as I hate to admit it. Of course, both of the Linux versions work exceedingly well.
