My basic PC specs are as follows:
Intel Pentium D 3.0 GHz
1GB RAM
128MB video memory
25GB hard disk partition (the rest of the space is for another OS)
I think Vista should run smoothly on such a system, but I'm not sure. If the 1GB of RAM isn't enough, that's no cause for worry; I have an extra 512 MB RAM stick with me to spare (I removed it sometime ago because I felt I didn't need it.)
Remember: I won't be running four-five apps at a time, I'm not like that, all I'll want to run will be some apps like a Nintendo64 emulator, a simple programming language, and such. What's more, I won't be installing too many apps because I'll have another Linux OS as a dual-boot with Vista, and I'll be installing the office suite and web browser on that, not on Vista. So I don't think the small Vista partition will be a serious problem.
So, what do you think? Can I run Vista smoothly?
