Okay, so, I upgraded to Vista about a week ago, and it's not serving me so well. It's really laggy with EVERYTHING I do. My current specs are:

Gigabyte Motherboard (GA-81865GME-775-RH)
1GB RAM
128MB
ASUS N6200 128MB(http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=2&l2=7&l3=140&model=484&modelmenu=1)
80GB HD
3.0GHz Pentium 4 Processor

Do you guys think I need to update my specs? I'm already using 44% memory and 9%-40% CPU usage typing this.

EDIT: I have pretty much $200 or so dollars to spend atm, and I'm 11 and don't have a job and obviously don't want to waste my money. I'm running Vista business upgrade atm, but I'm planning on buying Ultimate (long story)

Vista = memory ----

I got an e-machines from walmart from 2004 that has noob specs and it never lags on me, only problem is that it doesnt burn cd's anymore.

I got ..............

512MB RAM
64MB Intell® 82845G Graphics Controller
60GB HD
2.8GHz Pentium 4 Processor

See those noob specs? Handles all the ---- I do no problem, I can play WoW while runnin wmp11/msn/firefox in the background.

I say get windows xp and use that instead.

Ram/Cpu.

With 200$, your best bet is to grab another gig of ram.

Your P4/mobo most likely only have a 533 front side buss, which is defiantly creating a 'choke point' in your computer. I really never recommend running vista with anything below an AMD Athlon 64 or Intel Pentium D CPU.

Vista takes up giant ram I would suggesting going up to a 2 gig ram, that should fix it.

Okay so 2GB of RAM is a must, but is it needed to upgrade to dual core or a better video card? DX10 seems pretty demanding and I'm only getting 32FPS on CS:S.

Yeah upgrading your video card would help alot, but focus on getting the ram first.

I'd avoid Vista Tbh.

The machine your building would be Godly running Xp.

It will be adequate running Vista....
