Yes, it probably is a typo, but "Therefore bite the bullet, order that 72-pin RAM SIMM..." is hardly a typo :). As I understood that page, it deals with how much memory is enough for Vista, and that's simple, 1GB for basic work, 2GB for advanced work (and games), more if you work with memory intensive applications (like 3D software, picture editing software...).

btw. those things I complained about are mostly basic computer knowledge, except what exactly are superfetch and readyboost. I didn't mean any of it as an insult, but that article looks like it's been written by someone who doesn't exactly understand what and why some things do what they do (like "How much RAM memory does Vista need?" paragraph, that memory limit isn't put there by vista, it's because vista he talks about is 32 bit). I'd rather trust sites like http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/ than sites where you can't comment and discuss on tips they offer.

**Right click on "Computer" icon (either from desktop or start menu) and choose "Manage". When it opens expand "Service and Applications" and click on "Services". In the (pretty big) list find "Superfetch", luckily they're in alphabetic order. Right click on it and select "Properties". Under "Startup type" choose "Disabled" and click on "Apply", now just click on "Stop" button and it Vista will stop this process immediately. This stop thing is not 100% necessary, when you restart your computer next time it will be stopped.

With this caching is not disabled, windows will still cache memory, but it will be more discreet.
