    Right. Please explain this to my secondary 3GHz P4. You see, little P4-bert there shouldn't be able to run Vista perfectly fine, but it does. (Pentium 4s tend to be too thick to understand that they're too old to run Microsoft's most bloated OS plus full graphical effects flawlessly on integrated graphics. Please forgive it, but once it saw my 1.6GHz mobile Core2 with 2GB of RAM running Mint 17, it just wouldn't leave me alone!)

    Of course your P4 runs it. Windows Vista was released in 2007. The Pentium 4 went out of production 2008.

    Vista may have been a hideously-badly performing POS when it first came out, but SP1 *really* helped sort it's performance problems out (if not any of it's other problems) and Windows 7 was basically Windows Vista SP3 anyway.

    I like Mint too. Typing this on 17.2 right now ;)
