That would make 2,490M of Ram and 256MB Video.
So i think that muight run Vista O.K
Since the Recomended is 1Ghz CPU, 1GB System memory, 40GB HDD with 15GB free and a 128MB Video Card
(Im putting it on a new HDD so i can put my OEM XP back on)

What piece of crap computer are you trying to run home Premium on?
Better yet what horrendous piece of crap do you own still uses PC100 memory and why the hell would you put any money into it?

For some reason I HIGHLY doubt this POS Tandy you are trying to upgrade has a PCI-e slot and takes PC100 memory.

The computer at work is black
The computer on the desk at home is silver
The laptop is white

I think I am going to "get" a copy of XP MCE, everyone seems to like that better than vista from what I have read and the people I talked to for an older comp.

If you do get a copy, don't try to update it beyond SP1. SP2 and higher has a fix that will detect if a non-OEM key is on the system (basically almost any install that wasn't an OEM install done by a manufacturer). It will basically disable Windows. All of the patches out there I've tried that are supposed to address the issue do not seem to work.

I think a local guy did that. I'll see if I can find his thread about it.

MCE is beyond SP1, I will just get a copy of the current build.

Desktop 1 - Came with Vista, got rid of it in Favor of XP after a few months
Desktop 2 - Windows 7
Laptop - XP

I tried Vista, but I had too many issues with it's compadability and went back to Vista. Windows XP was a much better program, and Windows 7 is shaping up to be even better than the previous 2 based on it's beta form
