    Your computer looks perfectly adequate to install windows vista. Just remember that due to Vista's higher performance requierment, it will cut 1 hour out of your battery time, and games will run 10-15% slower than on XP.

    of course it's vista ready. Who said that games will run slower ? May be because of insufficient ram but overall I think Vista will run games smoother if ram allows.

    Yes, it looks fine for Vista, to me! Enough memory, enough RAM, a DVD drive.... does it have a sticker on it saying 'Designed For Windows XP. Windows Vista Capable/Ready)??
