Here are the minimum requirements, if you miss even one you will run the chance that it wont work
Microsoft has listed the following requirements for what they call a Vista Premium Ready PC. A PC that meets or exceeds these requirements will be able to use the new Aero technologies.[6]
* a 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
* 1 gigabyte of system memory
* a DirectX 9 compatible graphics processor, with a Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver, and a minimum of 64 MB of Video RAM
* 40 GB hard drive with 15 GB free space
* DVD-ROM Drive
* audio output and Internet access
The minimum requirements for graphics cards from the major vendors include the Radeon 9500 from ATI Technologies, the GeForce FX 5200 from NVIDIA, and even the Intel GMA 950.[7]
A note on minimum graphics requirements: though Microsoft has listed 128 MB of Video RAM as a requirement for "Premium Ready" PCs, it does not mean a 128 MB integrated graphics processor is required to run the Aero glass theme. A 64 MB integrated graphics processor, combined with at least 1 GB of system memory, will be able to run Aero at certain resolutions.[8] However, a Vista-specific driver for any given graphics processor is also required to run the Aero glass theme,[9] which may or may not be available at the time of Windows Vista's commercial release. Users who believe their hardware meets Aero's minimum graphics requirements are encouraged to check their graphics processor manufacturer's website for a Vista-specific driver if they are unable to run the theme.

Aero is the experience. Home basic is Vista without Aero pretty much. You can install Vista Premium and upgrade your video card at a later date. I have installed Vista on a laptop with 256MB video memory and Aero has worked. It's slows a system down but it will work. Why not just stick with XP if you can't utilize the graphic enhancements that Vista provides?
