Answer 1

The link below will take you to a page that lists the minimum system requirements that Vista needs to run.  But I'm thinking that a system that was built for ME is just not gona run Vista very well.

Answer 2

Yeah I think you would need more ram and a new video card.

Answer 3

Depends on what motherboard you have.

If you are running with only 128MB of ram.

Your motherboard is probably obsolete for Vista

Which needs a fast processor and at least 1GB of ram to run minimaly, and 2+GB to run smoothly.

Answer 4

You don't "buy" drivers, they come with the hardware on cd and/or free from manufacturer websites and/or they come on the OS disk as standard.

You'd need more ram though.  Windows 2000, or windows ME - they are different operating systems.

I think you should go speak to someone in pcworld or something.

Answer 5

Well, the newer the operating system, the bigger the RAM and hard disk needed to run the operating system smoothly. Well, since you have Windows 2000 ME and you would like to upgrade it to Windows Vista, you would have to go to the nearest computer dealer in your town. You will have to upgrade your RAM and hard disk and buy the disc to install Windows Vista. Please reconsider your choice of upgrading your old computer into Windows Vista as it may cost you a lot more than buying a new computer. A new computer have some pre-installed softwares like the Microsoft Office 60-day trail and it is better. While when you upgrade your computer, it may cost a little expensive and it does not have any pre-installed softwares.
