yes but it will slow down your system as it uses more resources up to run. vista fails to let certain programs run and has some bugs. you may wanna hold off on it.

Vista as an operating system is bigger than XP, and so may well slow down your computer slightly, although probably not by much. The biggest problem you will have however is your graphics card. It is too slow to use the fancy new 3D interface that Vista uses, so you would be limited to the old XP-style desktop. Vista will also take up quite a large chunk (15Gb) of your hard disk.
Personally I will be waiting until Vista has been around for a while until a few more of the bugs have been ironed out before I will upgrade. For most users, if you can't use the new interface Vista is little different to XP.

According to Microsoft, computers capable of running Windows Vista are classified as Vista Capable and Vista Premium Ready. A Vista Capable or equivalent PC needs to have at minimum an 800 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM and a DirectX 9 class graphics card. A computer that meets these requirements will be capable of running all editions of Windows Vista although some of the special features and high end graphics options may require additional or more advanced hardware. A Vista Premium Ready PC will take advantage of Vista's "high-end" features but will need at least a 1.0 GHz processor, 1 GB main memory, and an Aero-compatible graphics card with at least 128 MB graphics memory and supporting the new Windows Display Driver Model. The company also offers Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor from its Web site to determine the ability of a PC to run Vista in its various guises. The utility runs on Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) and Windows Vista.
Microsoft lists some Vista capable hardware on their web site. The "Windows Vista Premium Ready" laptops they specify have Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 or above CPUs and 1 GB memory.
There is more information on Windows Vista on the websites I listed below just in case you are interested.

should ideally work. However, certain features may require a more powerful processor. You can download a tool offered by microsoft to see if ur computer can handle vista.
My guess is it will work, but very slowly.
