On a 256 Mb RAM ? Windows XP moves crappy with 256, not to mention Vista. How do you manage ?

XP ran perfectly for me with 256mb, Vista is a little sticky but it's still not bad. The startup takes a while but once started it's good.

So we're talking about RAM here, what is the consensus on processor speeds?
