Answer 1

Vista will require 2 CPU's (the new dual chipsets that are coming out), and I think at a minimum 2 gig of Ram.

So, it wont even run, much less be slow. Stick with XP, and unless you're extremely adept with PC's, I wouldn't even start to think about using Vista until the 1st service Pack from Microsoft is released.

But until you upgrade your machine to a newer one...don't even bother trying to install Vista. you should be able to go to the Microsoft Web Site and get the actual physical MINIMUM requirements for Vista compatible computers.

Best of Luck!
