It will not work with Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Is there a version of the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor program that works with Windows XP Professional 64bit Edition? If not, why? I ran the Nvidia NZone "Can I run it?" Tool... www.nzone.com I passed the minimum requirements and all the recommended requirements except for the CPU. Recommended: Pentium 4/Athlon FX or better You Have: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Seeing I bought the system only around May/June should I be worried about having to upgrade my system to run Windows Vista? I bought the 64bit Edition thinking it would help future proof the system - which seeing my printer and dial-up modem stopped working and my broadband router can't use USB all due to no 64bit drivers, it seems like it's been more of a hassle than a help.	cerberusdog (11418)

Why did you get the 64 bit? there is very little support for drivers and such for it, I would never/have not considered any 64 bit OS . I just ran that test and it says Min CPU speed is 1GHz, and my performance is: Performance Rated at 6 . 60 GHz :D :rolleyes: The 3500+ will have no problems running it I shouldn't think judging by the laptops I have seen with the little Vista Capable sticker on them .
