Hey,

I got Windows Vista Ultimate, and before I put it in my PC, I want to make sure I the right system requirements. I have 1gb of ram, a Nividia Geforce Graphics card with 512mb. 80gb internal hardrive and a 300gb external harddrive. Lastly I have a AMD athlon Xp 2.18ghz processor. I just want to make sure I have good system specs, before I install. I did check the site

Ya thats plenty, you'll have a hard time installing on sata so use a ide drive.........least thats what i had to do, allthough the sata works fine within vista as a "D" drive, ect.
