Default ram used after boot with not doing anything is 553mb. This went down to 478 when I got closed the welcome center, exited the sidebar and clicked through a couple of other random dialogs that popped up when I clicked on the RSS feed on the sidebar earlier, telling me about IE7 phishing philter.
My take away from that - if you decide to run Vista, you'll want at least a Gig of RAM. Probably 2, actually.
