What version of Vista?

And yes, 1GB of RAM will help a lot. So would a faster hard drive and better CPU. You can't do much about the weak graphics card you have.

To give you an idea, I am running Vista Ultimate retail on my much older custom built desktop with P4 1.8 GHZ, 512MB memory, 80GB HDD, MSI board with intel's Integrated graphics card. It runs "Flawlessly" and I have not experienced any system degrading issues so far.

I say go for it and if you feel like adding extra memory, you can do that later too.
