HP nc6000 - Vista capable?

[Megamorph]

I'm putting a new HDD in my nc6000. This would be a good time to upgrade to Vista if the machine can handle it. Anyone know?

Or would it be smarter and less trouble to go back to XP?

Yes. Vista will slow it down to a crowl.

And with only a 32MB of VRAM, you won't be able to use the Aero feature anyway.

Stick to XP until you buy a new laptop.

I wouldn't change a thing. Your nc6000 is not Vista ready graphically - and without that - there's not much point.

Suggest you clone your old drive proportionally to the new, larger HDD and be ready to run on the new drive in less than an hour.

To make sure, you can download and run Microsoft's Vista Upgrade Advisor.
