Can this desktop run vista?

I don't see why it wouldn't... It would probably be a little sluggish, and you couldn't display all the goodies and eye-candy, but it should work.

When they reccomend 512 that means get more i put it on a machine with 512 to test and it was so slow you couldnt really do much i would reccomend getting him a better video card and at least a gig of memory if you want to run it comfortably..
