I see that it has 2 GB of RAM. Put at least 3-4 GB on it, if it's going to
run Vista. 2 GB is enough, but more memory will give you some breathing room
if you want to run some RAM-eating apps or do a lot of multi-tasking. Note
that on a 32-bit OS, 4 GB will translate into "only" 3.2-3.5 GB but any
extra RAM may still be worthwhile if it's cheap. No such limit on a 64-bit
OS of course.
