While I can personally attest for the gains Microsoft made when it comes to Windows Vista's performance between its release-to-manufacture November 2006 and now, there is no denying the fact that Vista simply isn't made for running on lower-specced computers. In addition, while Vista brings interesting new features and massive overhauls of many subsystems, a lot of people simply don't like it. Sadly for them, Windows XP is going out-of-sale 30 June. However, there are plenty of loopholes - PC World listed them.

No offense Thom , as you are really easily offended but your comparing apple to oranges and reading you current post is the clue.
* Who's OEM vendor in 2001 where selling computer with easily swappable CPU ? Most of them where soldiering the CPU in those days and changing the CPU would void the warranty.
* What kind/brand of Motherboard are we talking about here one with expansion slot and upgradability ? That's not really a 2001 OEM motherboard I know.
* What vista are you running and talking about ?
* What onboard graphic card from 2001 run Vista perfectly ?
Why all the upgrade then ?
When real people change there 2001 computer to a 2008 low end one they expect it to be faster , have better software , don't crash and be secure and compatible with there older peripheric.
That's not the case for most people and most low end offer currently on the market in a XP VS vista home comparison.
BTW : Aerio problem are usually at the GPU end not the cpu or ram.
