i want to change from Xp to Vista...
can i do that with my 512ram..?

yes you can,but it will lag even if u install vista basic.

LAG LAG LAG LAG laG!!

super lag bro.. upgrade your ram first,, then u can get vista..

Vista Home Basic is suitable for your PC spec.
What to expect - basic Aero Interface and minimal number of services running. Get familiar with the interface first, because it is different than XP at first.

I recommend minimum 2GB.

3GB will be better.

what about memory card..???
i use AMD

To run Vista, you will need an 800 Megahertz processor, 512Mb of memory and a VGA adapter.

However, in order to run Vista Premium standard, you will need a 1.5 Gigahertz processor with 1 Gigabyte memory and a 128 Megabytes DirectX 9 graphics adapter.

That said, with 512 Megabytes of memory, you should be able to run Vista Home Basic. I have experimented removing memory and under-clocking my processor just to see how near bare minimum hardware runs Vista.

It DOES run Vista, but I'd recommend running one application at one time or not having any background running third-party applications.

What that said, if you really have doubt about your current rig in supporting Vista, DON'T go for it.

waaaa 512 for vista

its no enought la bro...

minimum for vista is 1gb for vista only.....

then another 1 gb for proses and multi tasking.....

1gb + 1gb = 2gb ovel all

t.q....
aftr this, i will be use the great vista...

yeah, vista memang need at least 1.5gb ram to run.

but i'd go read up more bout vista 1st. some games cannot run on it, n there are bugs.

i used to use vista, laggy n hangs sometimes.

owh yeah...
so, may be i should read detail about it...

I managed to install Vista Ultimate w/ full Aero desktop effects on my previous 512mb laptop. It worked but it was such a pain in ass.

You need more RAM. 2gb at least.

owh, i know2...
maybe i use 2GB or 3GB...

Not recommend for you to upgrade to Vista. Wait for Windows 7 (stable version of Vista). Vista is a "lab rat" for Microsoft to create the next Windows (windows 7).

Final decision is up to you.

i installed vista ultimate , my mobo is asus psk epu , but after installed all driver .. NO SOUND .. how ? HELP fas

Same as me, Vista Ultimate SP1, not just no sound but can't install the mobo driver at all........WTF

owh yeah...
that right...
t.q...

Windows Vista delivers - performance, productivity and entertainment.

Performance - your hardware is up for it (WIE 3.0 +)
Productivity - thanks to Windows Live and Office 2007 seamlessly working with Vista
Entertainment - IE7, Games Explorer, DirectX 10, support for latest hardware

Most of us have issues with 'performance' and 'productivity'. Seriously, if your machine can't handle Vista, you need to think about upgrading and/or getting a new machine. I see all the reasons and more than ever with SP1 to get Windows Vista today.
