Tim Sneath our resident group manager for client platforms sits or stands with us to give us the details on Vista Ready Boost. Tim brings in an ancient pc that was running Windows 2000 to show you how easy it is to upgrade to Windows Vista. The PC is a pentium 4 processor and 512 MB of Ram. Will it work? It's time to find out.

Nice to see Tim again. While this is great example of what older systems can do and another opportunity for Free Geek, users updating hardware that old are really limited in what software the computer could handle.

Jesse mentioned Ready Boost a few times already, looks good. I'll have to try it out on my new HP.

August already. wow.
