Since when did a Core 2 duo barely meet specs?? Yes, your computer will run Vista.
A concern will be your video card, and it might keep your Aero score lower than you might want. Run the following upgrade advisor from Microsoft and it will walk you through what needs to be changed or upgraded, and what won't work once Vista is installed.

Yes, your machine is capable of running the OS, however, be sure that you are getting a real version of Vista. Many malware/spyware programmers are using Vista as a front for unsuspecting users to unknowingly download what they think to be a free version of the OS only to find that it is in fact malicious.

You will be able to install but your computer will slow down and you will not be able to push Vista to its capacity because of your hardware. Basically your computer barely meets the requirements.
* I realize its a core 2 duo but its only 1.8ghz

homestead windows vista heavily isn't avail till at last overdue 2006 early 2007 I assemble. the wonderful thank you to enhance is to the two do an entire re-set up of Vista after your have offered the utility, or there is additionally a deal around to a decrease value improve, verify with the area you purchased the computer from. learn the homestead windows vista internet site below, this provides you with greater suggestion, and a greater valuable thought of the coolest points for each version. go with the version that fits your desires, no longer continually the single which is the utmost it could run on a computer. expenses, verify at Amazon they had some "early expenses"

I think a better question is why do you feel the need to have Vista.
To answer you, the video is too weak to get full benefit.
