your RAM needs to be bumped up to a MINIMUM of 1 gig. i'd say to hit 2 just to be safe, cause even with 1gig i have seen problems.
And your video card needs to be a bit higher, not too much. if you want basic, try and get a 128, i have seen some comps. with a 256 and it looks pretty good. I myself have a 512 here at work. Runs like a champ on vista business.

If you run with 256mb of RAM, chances are your PC will be so slow you can't do anything. Get at least 1gb. Other than the RAM, you should be able to run it no problem.

Dont get Vista It sucks big time.
1. It is infested with bugs.
2. Has no more functionality than XP.
3. Your computer is never going to run vista with those specs.
Stay with XP for a while until vista gets debugged, then get a FAST computer, and then upgrade to vista.
Good luck,
Benno

No you need to have a minimum of 512 mb of RAM 128mb of graphics and a big hard drive but your processor will be fine

Winxp would be suitable. But you should get atleast 1 gig of Memory for vista.

If you install vista then yo it would be really difficult to play games that require huge memory as vista itself consumes most of yo ram. so better stick wid xp.

no u need at least 1gb of memory to run any edition of Vista. do not upgrade to vista from wat u have now. some drivers are not out for some hardware.

Nope - you need a bunch more RAM.
