I have a Dell Dimension 5150, with a 3.0ghz Intel Pentium D Processor with 2gbs of ram. I recently bought a new graphics card which is the nvidia geforce 7000gs, which im pretty sure will be perfect for vista. the problem is that ive heard vista runs pretty slow on any processor thats not a dual core, could anyone here support this? Will my computer efficiently run windows vista? Any help would be awesome, thanks in advanced

I wouldnt do the swap except its interior the call of relaxing. in case you play alot of video games,, i could additionally stay away from vista. The boot up would be quicker.. and the reveal screen will look fantastically yet each and every little thing bugs and etc arent worth it. specific its Vista waiting , yet while XP got here out, ninety 8 consumers have been asking an identical element. you could run Xp on 64mb of ram ,yet you lose the ask your self reveal screen animations... Vista you could run along with your 4200 rpm force and a million gig yet thats like the bare minimum. XP is likewise at present greater tweak friendly. you could nicely be waiting to make it a twin boot,,, So once you opt for to play with Vista you could... solid success

A Pentium D is dual core -- just a early version of dual core. Yes, you should be able to run it.
I have a 1.6 ghz dual core with 1gb ram, and integrated graphics (intel 950 chipset, if you really want to know) and runs Vista Ultimate very very nicely. I got a rating of 3.5/5 with Vista's rating program

Vista runs very well on most modern hardware, I installed it to an old game system I have and it's not dual core, with only 1gb of ram.

I wouldn't even invest in windows vista because of the frequent problems associated with it. For example, the internet browsers have stopped over 5 times on my windows vista computer. Even tough I can restore my webpages, It is still a inconvenience. Also, vista is very slow on my computer which why I say keep xp or your current os and please dont invest in vista.

im using dual core and vista, and its quite slow on the startup but runs great after awhile. the problem with vista is there are only a few installers and etc. not all installers like games,printers are compatible with vista because its new.

Hi Jason, since you have a Dell... here is a link from the Dell site that allows you to test your system to see if it's compatible with Vista.

How can you be ready for VISTA when Microsoft isn't even ready for it yet? Dont forget the DX10 card to complete it.

stick with XP
why do you think all the mfg are again offering XP.
Vista still is not stable enough and the driver support is bad.
XP is still king.
