    I'd recommend 2 more GBs on the RAM there buddy, Vista eats up RAM likes there's no tomorrow.

    Vista can't really use anything above 3-4 GB of ram due to the addressing limit (my Vista PC only sees about 3GB). Now if he was upgrading to a 64-bit version....

    By the way, you will pretty much run Vista smoothly with those specs.
