the 1.6 gig will be a little slow. vista is designed to run with a dual core. you have plenty of ram. Basically 1 gig to vista is what 512 is to xp

It depends on the turion proccessor. If it's an x2 then it's a dual core and will run just fine. The comparison of 512 to xp is probably pretty accurate. but none of us really know though.

turion is 64 bit.. that should be fine, but graphics card is going to be the big question mark.. besides the desire to jerk off on an big cat

Business customers can get it in late November, stores in late January.

There is a lot more new than just a paint job. Check it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista.

it's definitely not just a prettier version of xp. i don't really know the details, but there are significant changes under the hood. for one, it's not even based on xp. the source code is based off windows server 2003.
