    yes, it is compatible. the question is how many of the visual features you will be able to run. but if you just want to know if you can install and run, then yes, you can.

    Just to note, make sure you get the 32-bit one since you won't be able to handle the 64-bit version ;)

    Well, technicall yes you would be able to run Vista. But you wouldn't be able to take full advantage of it, and you would have to turn all visuals off.

    I'd recommend sticking with XP until you get a new machine, especially considering Vista takes up 10GB which only leaves you with 15GB for programs.
