"Windows Vista recommended system requirements": http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...uirements.aspx Really, it's new laptop time. If you have any further questions, you should find a more appropriate newsgroup - this is microsoft.public.dotnet.general, which deals with the ..NET framework. Andrew |

There is not much you can do with a 15GB HDD, 64 to 512MBs of RAM and a 566MHz processor.. Vista would require 30 to 40GBs of disk and 2GBs of RAM. You can try downloading the free Windows7 RC. That may work on such a system in a very basic setting. Eventually you may consider buying a new PC. Nowadays they come with 250GB and more disk space, 2 or more Gigahertz processors and 2 and more Gigabytes of RAM. And that's what you need to have fun running the system with Vista or W7. |

I'd say XP is even doubtful unless you put at least 512 Mb of RAM in it. You don't say what CPU, or how much main memory, so nothing is sure. Win 2000 is probably out unless you already have it. Not available any more. |
