  1. Yes, Vista should run very nicely on your computer. :)
  2. It will run it about as good as anything. Your processor speed is fine, your ram is good, your video is good, and you have plenty of hard drive space. If it already has XP, I'd stick with that, but otherwise you're pretty much stuck with the Vista and you might as well get used to it. Good luck.
  3. yeah, it works good. it's a rumor.(fake news) . i think you got wrong information. vista requires lots of memory, and has lots of problems like freezes your computer, not responding many times some of the programs are not compatible with vista. in my opinion xp is better than vista. becaz vista is new in the market, microsoft vista will take time to solve problems.
  4. i wouldnt run vista without haveing 4gb ram and 64bit
  5. There a several reasons why your computer is freezing/slow. First question is when was the last time you cleaned your registry. Having a corrupted registry can cause a whole host of errors and problems. Freezing up is one of them. If you have a lot of unnecessary registry keys that are hogging up your computer resources. Your computer is bound to choke. Scan your registry with a good registry cleaner. If you pull up more than 20 errors or duplication, clean your registry. 2. Depending on your RAM specs and your computer usage. This could also be a the issue. Having an insufficient amount of free space does not allow your RAM to function properly. If you are using a lot of RAM by net surfing or other activities without enough empty space your will get freezes. You don't need to buy new RAM but you should increase your free space by removing unnecessary data and perhaps increasing your virtual memory. The below link will show you how. 3. Spyware could be the culprit, so do a scan and see if your computer is infected. 4. That last area is a hardware drivers. This could be the problem if new hardware has been added to the system. So, the drivers should still be up to date. So try the first two suggestion and see if you can get your computer to stop freezing/speed up. Check your drivers. Hope this helps.
