I got a Dell PC and I am able to get Windows Vista for free (it expires tomorrow) from Dell. I'm wondering if you guys could go to my profile and check out my PC games and tell me if you had any problems with any of those games, especially Oblivion. I would really appreciate it. My system specs are...

Dell  Dimension DIME521

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+

2.00 GHz, 1.00GB of RAM

Nvidia e-GeForce 7600 GT PCI-E 256MB

I'm looking into a RAM upgrade today, would I be ok with a half gig extra? Or should I go with a full extra gig?

if it's free, id get it. they should patch it up soon, so itll save you 200 bucks in the long run. people complain about windows vista all the time, just bc the problems are new, but windows xp, along with most hardware stuff, has problems all the time.

Yes, get Vista. I'd go with the extra full gig of RAM, since you only have one to start with. Vista will run better with 2 gigs.
