Answer 1

Using Vista would work great with it. (I know b/c my laptop also has 4 gb ram and 320 HDD). But i think that you should wait for the latest of the new windows Operating system (windows seven...I have already tested it and it works great)

Answer 2

well start from the ground up. For all operating systems, there is an underlying language, for windows, MS-DOS. Then there is the operating system which makes it usable to the average person, the graphical user interface, the most common being windows. this is what programs run off of, organizes files, data etc so the average person can use their computer instead of having to learn to perform all tasks in a computer language. Some Operating Systems require different things out of its hardware. some are easy on requirements, other require a lot (ahem Vista) the thing is finding the right one for you. There are many choices Windows Vista, xp, etc. Mac OS X (requires Mac computer or a lot of time lol) Linux varieties and a few more. Enjoy!

Answer 3

Ubuntu Linux: www.ubuntu.com

Answer 4
