Yes it will be incredibly slow. The specs for your PC are listed on the link below. Reasons why it will be slow: Single Core 2.4 Ghz processor Celeron D (Very old) 256 mb of ram on a moptherboard with the capacity for Maximum 1gb of ram - Vista requires a minimum of 2 gb of ram if you dont want lag - that is with a good processor. Not to mention the tiny harddrive to install vista and have a recovery partition would almost use all of it. In other words, you need a new pc.

Sounds good if you intend to use it for normal use. If you want it for gaming though, I'd recommend 2 GB of RAM and at least a 3 GHz processor.

Go to the windows vista website. They have a program you can download to see if your computer is compatible, or it tells you what you need to change on your computer.

You could...But why? Windows XP consumes alot less resources, and I believe is much more stable.

I'm not sure if 256 ram is enough. You don't want Vista anyway-it SUCKS!
