Hi. Recently i built a new computer for gaming and 3d Animation reasons. The thing is, I have DX10 video card but i cant run DX10 due to the fact that i don't have windows Vista. I'm interested in Updating to windows vista, but several people have told me that vista demands a lot for power. I was wondering if my computer currently meets specs for me to be able to run windows vista problem free with my games and software. Also, i have lots of school data and such from my 3d programs that would probably be lost, any way to keep that old data without having to put it all on dvd or external HDD?

Specs:
CPU: AMD anthlon 64 X2 Dual 6000+
Motherboard: Infinity NF ULTRAII-M2
Ram: 2.00 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA 8800 GTS
HardDrive: 180 GB
OS: Windows XP
Power Supply: 450w
