First of all, check how many programs are running on startup. Disable those which are not required..
Second thing you can do is disable Aero Vision....Your Notebook will be a lot faster..

where do i disable all the things from im quite new to vista
Click to expand...
To remove startup items, go to Start > Run (or windows key + R). Enter MSCONFIG. Now go to the tab Startup. Uncheck all apps you don't need and click on OK.
To turn of Aero, right-click the Desktop and click on Customize Desktop. Now go to Themes. Select Windows Vista Basic theme and click on OK.

But from my experience, I'd recommend at least 2 GB of RAM.
