So, i just cleaned the heck out of it, with a few tweaks, and it runs waaaay better than it did, but my question,

will upgrading this 32bit system to vista help with performance any? I need a realistic oppinion, i know its very cheap to upgrade and ram is cheap, but with a pc like this for family, i wanna know if it will help at all. Thanks in advance

For a sysem as old as that, I'd opt for a trimmed down version of XP. Cut down the useless programs & functions you wont use or need.
