i dont see any problem with that setup

i recommend upgrading if you have 1GB or more of RAM

otherwise vista will perform like windows XP running on 128MB or less RAM

a network on vista is a whole lot easier to setup than with xp.

I run over a Wireless LAN to get my internet, and I never had a single problem setting it up. I did an upgrade so it kept all my drivers. and then all it did its ask me what network and the network key and I was off.

I had some problems as my router (Orange Livebox) is defaulted to WEP and WPA. XP ran fine but Vista could only work with it if it was set to wpa or wep and not both.
Having to use WEP only because I have an eithernet bridge connected to and old imac (only supports wep).
