Default Upgrade to Vista Home Premium

Thinking of upgrading the laptop in my signature to vista home premium 32-bit. This is the OS system that was recommended by the microsoft tool. Do you think I will have any hardware problems, lags or any problems at all with this OS?

Yeah, the video is shared with the 1gb, 64mb!! You think there will be lags, poor picture quality and freezing?

I run vista basic on a laptop with pretty similar stats and dont have any problems. But if you can pick up another gig of memory cheap, that will definately help.

To run Home PRemium yes. Sero will not function correctly and cause some lag for you. With those specs i would recommend Home Basic.
