A lot is different… the two biggest features are certainly 64-bit processor support (which means you need a new 64-bit processor to take advantage), and using DirectX 3D as a window manager (which means you need a lot of memory and good video card to see windows look 3d sometimes).
Do not bother with Windows Vista. Particularly not with a 3 year old computer.
You will need to do a clean install of vista and you will have to back up all your files, as you will lose the lot.
Personally I wouldnt bother and i would stick with XP. i have just chnaged from XP to vista and to be honest the only advantage is the sidebar.
Vista has just tried to copy the mac, and failed miserably.
Dont watse your money, it truley isnt worth it.
about 250 quid haha.
my opinion is that xp is a much better system, i got a new laptop last week and i hunted around till i found one with xp. it runs much faster and is compatible with all other software and hardware but vista has huge compatibility issues
Yes but it will be slower and will cost u more money… i surgest keeping xp… until u get a new pc with a oem edition of vista already on
