Not really, IME Vista needs 2GB to fully stretch out and work smoothly as 
designed.  If you try and run it on 1GB, you'll probably be spending more 
time paging around "clever features" and "actual programs" etc than the 
benefit you get from the clever features.  Vista runs fine on 1GB, *once* 
you have your program loaded.  If you just you one program all day you'll be 
fine, but if use lots of different programs it's going to appear slow to 
you.  Anyway, all this is a pointless discussion, as I said, for a fraction 
of the price of Vista you can buy an extra 1GB.

Yup, as has always happened every year since the 80s.

IMO, if the cheapest Dell offers 2GB, then 2GB is certainly not a "vast" 
amount of RAM.
