Hi Skullz,
Welcome to AC.
Can I ask you to clarify the question please?
The computer you are referring to is 2Gb, in which you mean 2GbRAM correct?
The second part of your question refers to the processor speed, this is different from the RAM.
If you mean to ask, "Can other work stations get by with less RAM?" The answer is yes. The minimum system requirement for Vista Home edition is 512Mb of RAM, the minimum system requirement for Vista Business/HomePremium/Ultimate is 1Gb of RAM.
You can go to this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/editions/systemrequirements.mspx This details all minimum system requirements for Vista versions.
From personal experience, I would recommend using twice the minimum RAM to run Vista.
I would also turn off the visual effects of Vista in order to improve computing performance. Do this by going to StartButton-->Right click "Computer" on the right hand side-->click "properties"-->click "advanced system settings" on the left hand side-->click performance "settings" button-->click "Adjust for best performance" button.
If you do this one simple step on all your workstations,you will notice improvement in speed. You don't need the stupid flashy special effects of Vista, it just eats up system memory.
hope this helps
