But it's not much of a new experience. It's still windows... and no matter how much ram you have, running Vista is going to be a nightmare on a lower-end single-core CPU. Semprons are a great example of processors that are not going to run Vista very well, unless you disable all the neat graphics and stuff. And then you can't even enjoy the eye candies and nice visuals, the big thing about vista that makes it a "new experience". I say that it's a waste of money...
