edit: that was a little brusque. Not sure how much computer experience you have but remember that vista consumes and inordinate amount of RAM.
Try going to /config in the "run" menu and disable anything that is definitely unecessary at starup (i.e. anything with AOL, trial programs, telephony, auto-update)
Solution b) Get an imac. Even if your vista crashes catastrophically you can always remove it and re-install it from the mac portion of the drive. Plus it looks sexy and takes up much less space.
