How can i get more RAM for installing Vista?

I'm trying to install Vista Home Premium on my pc but it always says that i only have 250mb or RAM and i need more. I looked up the microsoft website to see how to fix this problem, and i came to a page that said i could get more RAM manualy by ajusting the RAM by right clicking on My Computer, going to Properties/ Advanced/ Performance/ Settings/ Advanced then Virtual Memory, clicking on Change going to Custom size and changing the ammount in Initial Size and Maximum size, but this doesn't help. Is there any way to do it by using my HDD for RAM? Or do i HAVE to buy more? Also i have a 160gb external HDD, is there any way i can incorperate this into solving the problem or getting more RAM?



Any answers would be greatly appreciated, thanx =]How can i get more RAM for installing Vista?
Vista needs at least 2GB of Ram. You will have to physically add more to the Motherboard.

If you only had 250mb to start with I doubt your computer can run Vista without serious lag.

RAM = physical memory, which can pretty much only be purchased and added on



ROM = hard drive and under normal circumstances virtual memory



Increasing your virtual memory will not increase your RAM.

You will not be able to use readyboost to increase your RAM to install vista (Why? readyboost will only be active once Vista is installed... Vista will not install on 256mb of RAM).
The quick and simple answer: You will need to buy more RAM.
