Microsoft just put this upgrade advisor on their page. Its quite nifty. I scanned mine, all i need is a new GPU. not so bad i guess.
Can your rig upgrade to Vista? take the test! :P

YAY! I can handle it, but it said something stupid.  It says I need to have a graphics card with TV output capabilities.  WTF?  I do!  I have the cables and everything

It says I need 15GB of space and that I only have 11GB available and I need at least a 128MB video card.

Well, at least was part true. ::)

I agree with the video card suggestion but the program needs tweeking.

I can get everything...Heck, it said my card supports Windows Aero...That's good isn't it??

It also determined that Vista Home Premium will be my best option...which is exactly what I wanted... 8) 8)

Not too excited though...things could change ;)

It says mine needs more space :( but if I had that space, it would run all vista features except for recording tv.

Awesome, I thought this piece of junk wouldn't run vista.

says mine doesn't need any upgrades and suggests that I use Windows Vista Home Premium. it also just suggest that I look for a new scanner because its drivers won't support it. I may need to get upgrade drivers for my Saitek X52.

I hate upgrading operating systems. Newer versions aren't created to support hardware and software used on the previous version. Which makes no sense. But that is M$ upgrade your system means time to go shopping for new supported programs and hardware.
