    I have a Vaio VGN FE38GP running Windows XP in great performance.
    I'm hearing people praising Vista nowadays so I downloaded the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to check its readiness for upgrading if I decide.
    While am waiting could someone give me their input if they did upgrade a similar model.

    Thanks in advance.

    Get more RAM and you'll be fine. 1GB isn't enough.
