512MB SHOULD be enough for an OS but Vista...I don't think so.
Mine runs Vista with 2 Gig and an Intel DC and it runs quite well.
RAM is still really cheap so I'd splash out and increase it to at least 1 GIG.

I've heard it needs at least 1GB RAM to run

My spare machine was running it perfectly ok on 512Mb - and that was a lowly AMD 2000+ processor.
If you run the CPU meter on the sidebar you can get a good idea of how the memory is handling it. Having said all that you will find an improvement
with 1Gb.

Try changing the theme to 'windows classic' (it basically turns off most of the flash bits) and see how you get on.

Well i have to say:
Why bother?
Mac OSX has been doing what vista has for years!
Another MS scam im afraid!!!!
I have a machine running 16GB of Ram! but a cr ap video card! Vista is a pile of Poo!!!!!
Win 2000 pro is a winner or as you may have heard
DELL ships Laptops with LINUX.

My laptop runs Vista Ultimate... I've just upgraded from 512M to 1.5G and it's made a huge difference. So yeah, get some more RAM.
