Thanks for the help. I will be using it mostly for school and photoshop. Not really much gaming. So I hope it will be ok for those purposes. Any input about it runnning photoshop?

CPU is medium, 2+ GHz is better.
2GB memory, especially DDR2, is fairly good.
GeForce card is low-end.

Generally, Ultimate will work well for you, but don't expect really good performance in high-end games -- not enough CPU and too low-end a graphics card for that.

Hi everyone! So here is the deal I know my computer will handle Vista but Im curious how well. I will be getting Vista Ultimate as this is what is available to me. My question is how well well my hardware handle it? Here are my specs.

So what do you think. And yes I am not too technically savy when it comes to the parts of a computer.

Thanks for any input.

P.S. Love the site so far. Lots of good info to research!
