I'd recommend 2 more GBs on the RAM there buddy, Vista eats up RAM likes there's no tomorrow.

Download and run the Vista Advisor to see if your PC is Vista ready.

Vista can't really use anything above 3-4 GB of ram due to the addressing limit (my Vista PC only sees about 3GB). Now if he was upgrading to a 64-bit version....

By the way, you will pretty much run Vista smoothly with those specs.
