Is This Laptop Good?

It does depend on the hardware, but hey, I've seen some laggin @ss XP machines too.

Put it this way:
If your computer is slow running Vista, it's probably time for an upgrade anyway.

True!, but my uncle has had a slow vista running with a 600mb ram lol - it doesnt meet the requirements i know but then he put XP on it and ZOOM! its like kinda faster than before!

Why does vista have so many requirements like 1GB RAM? ETC...
How much ram does XP require?

Vista does much more for you than XP does. Ever tried to search for a file
with XP? With Vista? No comparison.

Plus, Vista is GORGEOUS, while XP looks like something PlaySchool may have drawn.

XP was good for it's time, but it's time has passed. IMO
