You could do with some more RAM, but it should run ok as it is.

Yup, its good but add about 0.5 gb of ram and you'll have a great PC for Vista.

Yea, it should run fine, but just think, are you sure you need Vista? It will cause the computer to run slower than with XP, and is very different, so don't just get it as other people have it, as Windows XP is still a very good and widely used operating system.

Stick with XP Pro .... the equivalent (Vista Ultimate) will cost you plenty of cash,but apart from eye candy, it wont be able to offer you anything, that justifies the outlay.
As thingie2 said, you will also notice a performance drop, for your trouble.

You definitely want at least a dual core processor for vista. You could use your single core one, but you will see much better performance from both everyday use and gaming.
