I play Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania sometimes, and on the back of the case it says for XP less MB, I don't remember how much the MB was for XP though, but with Vista it uses like 512 -_- is this true or is it only for some games?

I believe that it depends on the game. Older games need less memory since it isn't all that graphically advanced, while others, such as Crysis etc. will require more so that your pc will run it smoothly.

Since when has RAM become MB?
Vista is more of a system hog then Xp is.......

Its depends on how the app is codded.... Vangaurd is uses the unreal 2 engine yet it eats up over 2GB of RAM

Oh for crying out loud.

It is REALLY necessary to take the mick out of people who may not have English as their first language? (Ok, daft question i suppose...)

Anyway, YES, some games require more memory and hard drive space to run on Vista than on XP. A VERY recent example is C&C3 that lists as recommended specs: XP- 512Mb Ram/2.0GHz Processor, but, Vista-1Gb Ram2.2GHz Processor.

But only some.
