To run vista you will need fairly high end hardware, is your machine good enough now?

mine is probably borederline no, but i believe it will still be able to run it

and by what i mean by that is that it'll be able to utilize all the eye candy features incorporated into vista

I bet it can, especially after seeing that you have two 80cm fans in your case. Your overclock headroom must be huge with that kind of cooling.

Should be no problem here, all though i only have 1 gig of ram, I'm guessing 2gig is preferred for vista.

But gonna wait for my upgrade to ddr2, before going for 2gigs

I'm not running it until 2008 so my current hardware does not matter.
