ray:I CURRENTLY HAVE XP PRO INSTALLED ON MY DELL INSPIRON 5100 IT HAS 2.4GHZ 1.GB RAM AND 30 GB HARD DRIVE. I WOULD LIE TO WIPE THE HARD DRIVE AND INSTALL VISTA. MY QUESTION IS BEFORE I BUY VISTA WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND ANY ADVISE AS TO WHAT I MAY NEED TO DO OR NOT DO. WHAT VISTA SHOULD I BUY? I WILL PROBLY BUY VISTA FROM EBAY SO IS THERE ANY SCAMS I NEED TO LOOK FOR? HELL CAN I EVEN INSTALL VISTA ON MY PC? THANKS SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS, ANY AND ALL ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!Re: Upgrading From Xp To Vista
Easy on the caps there!
Like above poster said, another gig of RAM would be good. Which version of Vista you want depends on your needs. Take a look at these for guidance:

You can also use the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft to check out how ready your PC is to run Vista:
