Ummm, wait... why in the world would you want Vista? It's not only obsolete and unsupported for mainline updates, but even the essential security updates are going to stop next year.

Please tell me that was a typo.

No typo. That’s what this machine has on it. May try upgrade to Win 7.
This machine will be used by my wife to play games with her sister who is 500 miles away. These games are played while I watch NASCAR or NFL. (g)

Not connected to the internet, just talk phone to phone . They can easily spend 3-4 hours.

Anyway the Dell 3200 she is on now has RamBus memory and is very expensive to upgrade.
I can get this ASUS machine w/ 4 g ram cheaper than buying ram for her ‘puter. And a much faster machine.
