I believe that 256 mb is not sufficient for Vista. You'll have to get an upgrade. The minimum, for Home Basic is 512 mb

You really should not, Vista is a hardware-hog. However, I do know that you can because my brother did it with an old PoS computer, though it was quite literally as slow as molasses. He was even able to play games as well... frankly, I was stunned it didn't blow up on him, lol.:)

I'm afraid the answer is simple, you don't.Microsoft recommend between 512 MB & 1GB of system memory as the minimum requirement, depending on the version of Vista. Microsoft have a "Windows Vista: Upgrade Adviser" tool on their website that will tell you if you are able to run Vista, and how well. If you did manage to get it to run, it would run about as well as a three legged mule at the Melbourne cup.

There is no way you could install Vista on a computer that slow. I wouldn't even try it. You need to have at least 512 MB, but even that's not recommended. Ideally you would have at least 1 GB to install it and have it run smoothly.

you cant... vista needs 1 gb of memory and a 40 gig hard drive to run (about 20 gig will be used just for vista). might look into getting a computer that can handle vista. go to Microsoft web site look for info on windows vista it will give you all the info you need to know about .
