Trying Vista Home Premium
AMD 64X2, 2.5 GB 533 MHZ DDR2 RAM (messin' with the dual channel?) and 250 GB SATA HDD.
We've always run the PC's with the visual effects adjusted for best performance and have done the same for Vista.
DVD play was acceptable but we'll upgrade the video and play with the Gadgets next.
By the way: Been helping someone with a new Dell notebook with 512MB of memory running Vista Basic. A real lead sled. We have a hard time believing Dell would ship something like that.
