I HIGHLY doubt your PC will be able to run Vista... You shouldn't worry about it either, since it isn't set to be release until sometime in 2007..... I have heard people say that the requirements for Vista are crazy..

Take the recommended minimum specs, multiply them by 3, and you'll get the least amount of muscle a machine should have to even think of running the OS decently.
This should help: Windows Vista Hardware Guide

Just because it is not public release, doesn't mean they aren't kicking around a beta pre-release behind the scenes. This isn't some piddly little college-grad software company you're talking about. I'm sure Microsoft has plenty of inside links to the other major developers in the world.
Do you honestly think Microsoft sits and waits like us consumers for new technology to come out?
