1 Gbit DRAM chip becoming standard

The 1Gbit DRAM chip has replaced 512Gbit DRAM as the mainstream memory capacity for PCs according to DRAMeXchange. It's a sign that most PCs coming off production lines can now use Microsoft's Vista OS.

All of the premium versions of Vista require more DRAM per PC to ensure smooth operation of the OS, which is more complex and requires more hardware power than its predecessor, XP.
