Will laptop work with Vista OS?

[lacunas]

i have quite old laptop:
1.4 celeron, 512 ram.
It works well with XP.
Which OS (XP or Vista) needs more computer resourses?
I was wondering will it work ok with Windows Vista?

Thank you for your answers

The performance requirements for Vista is a modern processor (at least 800MHz) and 512 MB of system memory plus a graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable.

The performance requirements for XP is a pc with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required * Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor, Recommended 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features).

There you go

Your welcome and to remember: Vista does need more harddisk memory then XP.

Yes, vista is an 11gb install if i recall correctly.

running vista on your system will be iffy. Just because you have some of the minimum requirements dont really mean a thing. If you only have onboard video, forget it. IMO, the best your particular laptop will do will be vista basic. That said stick with xp.

i suggest keeping an XP partition (get the full version of vista) if possible
to easy the transition, Vista will run slower on your comp
since you only have 512MB RAM
if you have a <64MB Graphics card, dont expect vista to have the Aero glass effects, if you have <128MB dont expect much either
