depends

XP requires like 128m memory and like a single core 600mhz
an old computer that xp came with may not necessarily handle vista or 7

No.
I suggest holding off until you get a better computer.

Holy crap Pitch's computer is as bad as mine.

Pitch's computer is worse than mine (Processor and RAM wise).
Too bad this one's only got 16MB on its intergrated graphics chip.

35%? That's like an entire gb of my 3gb of am. WHY DOES VISTA NEED AN ENTIRE GB OF MY RAM?
