Just add a gig of ram and maybe a new HD (I'm guessing your existing one is only 30-40gb) and it'll be fine. Celeron processors really suck but that doesn't really matter for everyday use.

I was acctually planing to buy 1,5 GB RAM today, before going to work. That would give me a total of about 2 GB RAM.
Ofcourse, as always when I plan to buy something, they were out. :angry:
Can't blame them too much though, awsome store. They have loads of stuff, and are cheap as *!

Love ya ENTER Data! B)

Just make sure it can handle 2gb. Just go to www.crucial.com and look up the model. It'll tell you its max memory expansion and they also provide the cheapest ram I've ever been able to find.

I have to agree Vista sucks compared to the XP versions. After 6 months of use and finally paying off all the bills, my laptop isn't looking so hot, despite doing all of the crazy things you can to make it run faster. There's just not much room for argument on my part. Might as well change the OS on it.

I guess faster is subjective...what hardcore tasks does the computer have to do that it isn't fast enough?

Hardcore tasks.

: Try just opening firefox without getting the blue screen of death. :angry: Next try notepad. Oh yeah. That'll freeze the thing so bad you have to forcefully turn it off.

My new vista laptop freezes constantly. The worst thing is how hard it is to get to the task manager. You do ctrl+alt+del and you get this stupid multimedia window. Then you click on task manager and it never comes up.

Oh sure it'll come up fine if the computer isn't frozen, but the only time you need to open it is when the computer is having troubles!

THe thing I hate most about VIsta is that they changed everything. On XP, I at least knew where everything wat. On Vista, I'm totally lost. Why do they have to move everything around so you have to hunt for it? I know someone at school who claims that Vista was actually created by Satan to torment humanity. I hate it because it won't run any of my old games. It's just like Micro$oft's Xbox 360 not playing certain Xbox games.

They move everything around so they can sell us a bloated version of xp with a new skin and call it a "new and improved" operating system. If everything was in the same place, everyone would see that vista is just xp with bloated security features and a new skin. I guess MS figures we're not smart enough to see what they're doing if they just move things around and make a new startup sound. What they've done is released the next version of windows that was scheduled to be released in 2009 2 years earlier because they wanted money and apple had already released 3 new OS's. :angry: Windows vista is just a pre-beta version of windows 7. It's an incomplete unstable version of an OS that was released 2 years early.
