As XP is becoming unsupported, will this accept Vista?, it's main use will be the web.

if its just for web use then it will be fine, why are you using vista is that a disk you already have as i would go to 7 if you have the option0

Yes I have the disk as upgraded another PC.
This would be used by an inexperienced user (my great nephew) so would like it to be secure, and simple.

I have a 1GB ram, from updating another PC, and it seems this will take 2gb with further investigation. However, does it need to have ram in both slots, and the same amount in each slot for Vista and or XP? I have a niggle in the back of my mind about that, but it could have been previous versions.

Does this answer your question?
You can try running Vista on 1.5GB with your existing RAM.0
