Vista requires MORE resources; Therefore a system with memory and disk to run XP might be a dog running Vista. I suggest you have at least 1GB of RAM and a good size disk drive

no , vista doesn't increase the performance it can make you think your computer is slow and you'll end up buying a new computer :) . I'm really happy with my xp. It's just an os that brings more backgound running applications, nothing else

I think that right now the answer is no. In the future Vista will take more advantage of 64-bit architecture. As programs get bigger and require more memory vista will be ready and will be able to run programs that XP cannot.

The only thing Vista increases is Bill Gate's bank account

No it dosent make your performance better .Actually if your computer is not too good hardwared like haveng less ram then 1 gig or all your hardrdive space is full or you have alot of programs runing in the backround it will slow down your computer . Here you can download a small program that will determine if your computer is capabile of Windows Vista http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/default.mspx

No, two test systems I have set up vista on, have both been slower with vista than XP.

I'm thinking it would. But you can't really tell yet because they haven't released it yet. So any tests that were done would have to be based on the Beta version (or Relese Candidate version). Neither of those are final so you can't really tell yet.
But common sense tells me it would be faster otherwise why would they make an OS that's slower?

1) Add RAM.
2) increase free disk space (remove unneeded programs from hard drive, delete temp files and folders, switch to a larger hard drive, add a second hard drive)
3) reduce the number of programs running in your system tray/at startup. You can do this by going to Start, Run, MSConfig, and unchecking unneeded items.
4) scan for/remove spyware/adware/malware.

rule of thumb: whenever you upgrade to the latest OS with an older computer it is going to slow it down. The OS is designed to run on new computers, not old ones. The OS that is best is the one the computer was built to run.
