No offense, but, if you overclocked every component in your box, it wouldn't be "Vista compatible". Sorry.
You'll need 1GB RAM 40GB HDD with 15GB free CPU spec is between 800MHz and 1GB minimum so you'll be okay with that one. You also will need directx 9.0 support, so I think the 9250 only goes to 8.1, but that may need to be checked. http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2156438/microsoft-surprises-vista
not true as a windows vista beta tester it runs with a 256mb stick slow but it runs at least! and MAYBE u could overclock ure cpu to 2.2ghz and yeah hard drive space ure gonna need a bigger hard drive and video card ure gonna have a prblm with that since vista minimum requirements is agp and recommended is pci-e
So everything he’s been told so far is correct apart from a technicality with the RAM, however running slow to the point of pointlessness and running correctly are two different things. I know people running XP on P3 machines with 128MB of ram, it’s as painful as having teeth pulled out, and you have to ask why they even bother. Either get a PC that can handle the OS with enough power to make it a useful and pleasant process, or use the older OS's that are more suited to the PC.
Ok but how exacly do i overclock safely because i tryed the bios oc and it burned my nvidia geforce mx4000 and that sucked so help me please. also im getting a 512mb stick and a seagate 750gb drive i hope i can install vista premium
Hey I resent that. I got a p3 machine with 512 of ram. It runs xp home sp2 perfectly. Its a 933 processor
