Thank you, one more question. My deminison 8250 had 512mb when new. It now has 256mb left should I add more memory before changing to vista or just buy a new computer.

If I can add to this one how much would it cost aprox?

Vista needs 1 GB of memory at a minimum. It is much happier with 2 GB.

 

Your computer uses Rambus RDRAM. It is very expensive, so you would spend a lot of money (roughly $600) to meet the minimum requirements for using Vista.

 

So I would either stick with XP or put the money towards a new computer if you really want Vista.

Here is Microsoft's web site showing the basic requirements for Vista.
