Computer upgrade to Windows Vista

Now if you have spoke to me in the past few days, you would have noticed that I have upgraded the final computer to solely run Windows XP has been upgraded to Windows Vista Basic. This has been long overdue, as Windows Vista is a fantastic operating system. However, computer performance has been increased on Windows Vista, the system is very low end, consisting of an
  • AMD Sempron 64 3100+ Socket 754 Processor
  • 1,536 Megabytes of DDR400 RAM
  • 250GB Hard disk spce
  • nVidia 5700VE 256MB
  • 17" CRT at 1024x768
It scores a 3.0 on the Windows Experience Index, which is quite good for a 3 year old computer, may I add. The reason for upgrading to Windows Vista was there was a hard disk drive crash, and it would simply not boot into Windows XP setup, so after hours of faffing around, I got a Windows Vista Upgrade disk fro $59.00 at www.softwaremedia.com. This has been by far the best upgrade for the computer I could have made.
