So much for Vista Aero running faster than XP in Classic mode on my 450mhz eh? Considering it won't run at all. ;-)

You definitely are going to need more power with those specs. Not saying it will not run Vista, but the experience will not be satisfying.

Also, does the card have a supported WDDM driver so you could possibly get Glass? I would also recommend 1GB of RAM minimum or more.
