How will Vista run?

[nomi]

I have a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHZ
1 Gb DDR Ram
256 DDR Graphic Card
160 GB HD
How will vista run?
Should i upgrade from XP?

I refused to listen to people when they told me Vista sucks, until I tried it for myself. With the amount of RAM you have, it's most likely gonna run like crap.

Seriously, there's absolutely no reason for you to upgrade. Maybe when a Service Pack 1 comes out.

I support and agree with Mark30001, besides DX10 support (which isn't even necessary yet), Vista offers nothing, and is only a lot slower than XP, with a lot less application compatibility. You should have at least 2 GB RAM for Vista to run optimally. Stick to XP.

well i have vista with this system works like a charm:
intel core2quad 2.4ghz
2gb ddr 800 ram
ati x1950 xtx
250gb HD

[Mark30001]

Well, 1GB RAM and 2GB RAM is a big difference. I take back the "running like crap" part, but might run okay on 1GB RAM. Maybe if you had 2GB, but there's really no reason to upgrade. I could see if it was from Windows 2000 to XP, but like blackrave said, it offers nothing and is incompatible with a lot of software/drivers that could work properly on XP.

No one is stopping you though; feel free to upgrade if you wish.

Vista works fine on my PC, and my PC was built for WinXP.

Ok here: I've got both Vista and XP (I installed them on different partitions. Can you say two computers in one? ) These are my PC Specs that runs Vista Nicely (except my graphics card)

4 CPU 3.00GHZ Processor
2.5 GB of RAM
ATI X300 Graphics card (BLEH!)

Let me tell you Vista in incompatible with EVERY PC GAME IN MY LIBRARY. Anything from 2005 down most likely WILL NOT RUN ON VISTA.
