My laptop says vista compatible and i bought a windows vista home premium upgrade package. my laptop has a sticker that says vista compatible but i was wonder where out of 100 would it be for running good with the vista installed. eg. 50/100 = minimum---- 100/100 recommended the specs are: intel celeron m410 cpu, 1.46ghz, 1gb ram, 128mb intel gma 950 graphics card, 15.4 inch screen, wireless built in, dvd-rw, usb x3, 500mhz bus speed, what mark out of a hundred (can be given in %) would it get as being recommended??? the laptop is advent 7109

35 my dear boy. vista premium requires and recommends 2 gig of ram. you're already at a disadvantage of having a celeron processor. they say it is much improved now, but not . it is still slow. you should try to dual boot windows vista and windows xp, that way for whatever reason you can use vista and then use xp for the majority of your computer usage. i think your laptop specs will run fine as an xp but with vista and with premium instead of basic, you're going to be crawling. but if you want to stick with vista. then upgrade the ram to 2 gig and dont use the aero interface, go to your control panel, system, perforblokece, and set ething to perforblokece based and not look based.
