Hi everyone. I have a few questions about Vista before I go and buy it. First I would like to know if it will be able to run Ok on my system, im sure it will be able to run but I want to know if it will be slow or anything like that. I have:

Processor : Intel Pentium 4 @ 3200 MHz
Physical Memory : 1024 MB
Video Card : ATI Technologies Inc Radeon X1300 Series
Chipset : Intel i865PE
Hard Disk: 2 Hard Disks 251 Gigs each.

And my second question is this. I have Windows XP on my C: Drive. And I want to buy Vista and Install it on my D: drive. Will I be able to choose which one to run upon startup? And if I don't like Vista or I want to uninstall it will I be able to do so without loosing all the files on my D: Drive. Thanks a lot for any help.

I've got a 1.8 gig puter with 2gigs ram and an ati 9550 card. Vista works ok on that. You may have to get another gig of ram tho to be sure.
