Will this run Vista properly?

i don't know if this belongs here, but i'm thing either vista or mac and have a question. i don't have the direct link, but a laptop with

15.4" screen
vista home premium
Celeron Processor 540 (1.86 Ghz)
1 gb RAM
Intel X3100

will this run vista properly? i usually just email, browse the web, use word, edit home movies and burn them to dvd very occasionally (once a month), downloading pictures from my digital camera and occasionally editing them (few times a month). i also want to be able to run iTunes/word or email/internet at the same time. will this be a joke using the specs stated above? also i don't want vista to lag.

 

With this configuration, I don't think you will be happy with Vista performance.

 

You can't have a Celeron with an X3100.....

 

what do you mean? can you elaborate on that? i want this laptop to last a few years.

 

Yes you can. Not the exact laptop i'm buying, but on the dell japan site (sorry it's in japanese, but the specs are in english) Dell Online Store it says that you can customize this celeron with an x3100.

 

If you wanted to run Vista, it would be most advisable for you to have home basic...the Aero would use a quarter of your RAM. I would suggest getting more RAM if you wanted it to run alright.

Computers capable of running Windows Vista are classified as Vista Capable and Vista Premium Ready.[33] A Vista Capable or equivalent PC is capable of running all editions of Windows Vista although some of the special features and high end graphics options may require additional or more advanced hardware. A Vista Premium Ready PC can take advantage of Vista's "high-end" features.[34]

Windows Vista's "Basic" and "Classic" interfaces work with virtually any graphics hardware that supports Windows XP or 2000; accordingly, most discussion around Vista's graphics requirements centers on those for the Windows Aero interface. As of Windows Vista Beta 2, the NVIDIA GeForce 6 series and later, the ATI Radeon 9500 and later, Intel's GMA 950 integrated graphics, and a handful of VIA chipsets and S3 Graphics discrete chips are supported. Although originally supported, the GeForce FX 5 series has been dropped from newer drivers from NVIDIA. The last driver from NVIDIA to support the GeForce FX series on Vista was 96.85.[35][36] Microsoft offers a tool called the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor[37] to assist XP and Vista users in determining what versions of Windows their machine is capable of running. Although the installation media included in retail packages is a 32-bit DVD, customers without a DVD-ROM or customers who wish for a 64-bit install media are able to acquire this media through the Windows Vista Alternate Media program.

 

wikipasting? not cool man... =(

SkeeteRX8, i know that the laptop will run vista in any way shape or form, because the one i'm getting (might be getting it) (don't know if i'm getting it at all) has vista home premium preinstalled.

 

What I mean is that you will very likely experience more lag than you would find acceptable if you tried to run Vista with a Celeron processor and only 1 GB of ram. More RAM and/or a more powerful processor would be advisable.
