What will vista run like on this laptop?

I know its a pretty bad processor, but how will vista premium run on a Intel Celeron C530 Processor
1.73GHz, 533MHz FSB, 1MB Cache ?
Please only answer if you have tried it.

If it is Vista compatible then it will run OK. It will be slow but it should work. 64-bit Vista will be very slow, it's just too powerful. You should really have 2Gb of RAM to run any kind of Vista at a decent pace but it mainly depends on what you're going to do on it. I would say then yes, of course it'll work so long as it is Vista compatible (less than 3ish years old) but it may be slow when running resource hungry applications.

btw - the processor isn't that bad at all. 1.5Ghz is where it starts to go down hill.

If you need more info - e-mail me, i may be able to help you.

Go to your computers web site and it will tell you if it can handle vista or not. Most sites have upgraded their sites about this concern.

With Vista, it is not just the processor, it is also the amount of installed memory (2GB or better) and the type of graphics (discrete is better then integrated) that affect performance when it comes to laptops. I would wait on upgrading to Vista, as it's successor is planned for a 2nd half 2009 release.
