It would run but I wouldn't do aeroglass with that GFX card. Another 512 would help out.

would run, may be a bit choppy but overall would run ok, 1gb RAM would help plus a better gfx card.

I have Vista Business running on my laptop:

P4 M 2.0ghz
1 GIG ram
ATI 7500 32MB Mobility GFX

Without issue,In fact I now use it 24/7 on my lappy and its feels no slower than XP did and I can live without 3D windows and Aero Glass.

I was about getting a new laptop to run Vista but I'm not going to now.I use my laptop for email basic office and internet.

Vista needs at least 1GIG of ram to run properly TBH.
When Idling in windows its using 450MB ram.

So a GIG is needed for a smooth ride.
