SP2 or Windows Vista (SP mean service Pack) For XP there are a total of 3 service packs. You might need to up date your computer.

* 2.4 GHz Core Duo processor or equivalent

* 1 GB RAM

* A 256 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 3.0 - nvidia 7800 or equivalent

* The latest version of DirectX 9.0c

* A DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card

* At least 6 GB of hard drive space for installation.



As far as Windows Vista these are the facts and my personal opinion.



I would stick with XP. Vista has had many problems. Vista may also not support your printer, scanner or software like quicken or commuincation software. Its been more than quirky to say the least. Here are some very important must read articles about Windows Vista. It will enlighten and educate you and Im sure lead you to a decsion of staying with XP. There is an old saying. "Dont fix what aint broke." Here's the links.

Answer 2

I use a Vista and its alright, but it can be very slow. I would suggest sticking to XP and buy a better Graphics card to be able to play LOTR Conquest or buy more ram if thats the problem.

Answer 3

I wouldn't swap out to vista if I were you. I bought a new computer a year ago and the sales person talked me into vista. I write children's book and illstrate them so I bought the top of the line computer to work with the graphics programs I had. I told them the programs I had purchased and asked if there would be compatibility problems, and was told there wouldn't be.



But there was... lots of them. 2 of my programs won't work at all, and my printer is incompatible with Vista. I tried downloading patches to meake everything work, but it still doesn't.



With all of this said, I strongly advise against getting Vista. Just upgrade your graphics card and install moreRAM.
