Try the Beta Upgrade Advisor:

As a minimum, I would suggest doubling your RAM to at least 1GB

And don't forget to add a DVD drive, if you currently have none.

The Vista Upgrade Advisor will examine your system and give you a
straight answer (compatible,not compatible) for each of your hard ware
devices.

if it says "not compatible", it means either that that Vista cannot
use your hardware at all, or it needs an updated driver for the device
it turns the thumb down on.

I don't think the 915 built in graphics have wddm drivers so Aero Glass
won't work. I had Vista Beta a similar system. It worked great, except for
Aero, after I added another 512 MB ram.
