you can probably upgrade to XP but it will be VERY slow

A definite NO. You need a computer that is at least 1 years old! Meaning a Pentium 4 not 2 (just 1 reason, there are so much more). Vista will deny you upgrade if you attempt to do so.

I think the requirements are 1GB of Ram, at least a 30GB HDD (Don't think it takes that much though, and a 2.6 GHz Processor) Check the M$ website. I would actually suggest upgrading to XP, Vista has LOTS of problems. Unless you want it for games (your rig doesn't look like it could handle any Vista only games) I would stay away.

No - your computer has a pentium 2 processor and only 196mb of RAM. You need a pentium 3 with at least 1gig of RAM (realistically 2 gig ram) to run Vista. I dont think you can run XP on 196mb of Ram either. I think your stuck with Win98.

No, simply put, vista will not run on your machine. Additionally i think you need XP or 2000 to qualify to upgrade to vista. Vista home basic minimum requirements are 1GHz processor, 512 mb ram, and at least 15GB of hard drive space.
