Do I lose memory and disk space? It says that Vista prefers 1GB of memory vs 512MB. If I install Vista will it slow down my lap top?

Most likely yes because and upgrade like that takes up quite a bit of space. I also read that a Vista upgrade will take up around 16 GB of your hard drive. Vista is new...and that means there can be a lot of bugs with it and things such as your printer and such may not work for a bit until upgrades for the printer are available. You should save yourself the hassle and wait a while before upgrading :)

Forget about Vista, it's a waste of money. For the time being, stick to XP.
Reason: Vista is nothing but a an eye-candy enhancement to XP and it draws a lot of your hardware resources.

Privacy invasion & Microsoft's ability to control what you are allowed to install, play or view.
This is the real difference that Microsoft is trying to keep under a low profile ... the rest is just "bells & whistles" to attract the feeble minded into their goal to control more & more of your PCs content.
I think Microsoft has gone too far ....

I've had free access to all versions of Vista since last November. I recently uninstalled it completely from my PC & retuned to XP Media Center. I had no hardware issues of any kind but will not be a pawn to Microsoft's desire for more & more control over PC content.

Upgrading to Vista really won't work on a laptop like that. Stick with XP until you're ready to upgrade to a new laptop.

From the specs, I can't see how a lot of computers can run it without considerable investment.
Microsoft have confirmed they will be supporting XP until at least 2014, so I am in no rush to upgrade.
