Is my computer OK to run Vista 64bit?

Asrock AliveNF6G-VSTA
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400
2GB Ram
nVidia Geforce 6150SE 256MB Shared... umm what else.

Anyway, that should be enough info.

I'd give it another gig of ram and you'd be set, but otherwise yes, you can run Vista 64-bit.

the extra ran isnt realy needed as it will work fine with 2Gb but it will help with the extra gig

it's ok so...
But why vista?
It will take time for this OS to work normal...
and for x64 it is difficult to find progams...

A lot of people have Vista x64. There's a service pack out. If there are problems, I'll have to deal with it. I've ordered it now, so there's no going back. And I'd like to try out something else. Getting bored of XP.
