Define "lags".

Is the animation lagging? It might not be your RAM. It might be your video card or it might be the special features Vista has to make things pretty, AKA Aero. Which I suggested disabling several posts ago.

Is the entire computer slow? If so you got a pretty terrible laptop because 2 gigs of RAM and a 3.4 core 2 is more than enough to run Vista.

Also you don't have DDRAM. You have DDR2 SDRAM.

Lol if you got it fresh out the box I would suggest going to Windows Update.

i used highandroid's method and it actually helped my vista a bit. though first time i tried it i lost all keyboard input for vista. as long as you follow everything exactly... also i find using FF3 much better than IE7. much less laggy and better scores

Then what OS will start up the computer. As well Fido and everyone else have said, It is better to downgrade to XP. Make sure you check your drivers before downgrading though.

Some manufactures aren't making xp drivers with newer models of desk and laptop(XP SERVICE IS ENDING). And if you get XP late with all its vulnerabilities and no windows update you're probably screwed.

If push comes to shove trying a linux distro isn't that bad.
