It looks like I'm good to go, except I don't think I'll be buying it for my socket 754. I found the Inquirer posted the official requirements today too.

Won't run on Win2000. Not that I want to upgrade to Vista anyway.

Q. Why is the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor beta only available for Windows XP users?

A. The Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor beta depends on technology that only runs on computers with editions of Windows XP or a beta edition of Windows Vista installed. If you own a PC running Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 95, you will need to carefully compare their system capabilities to the information available on our Get Ready site. In general, PCs purchased within the last two years have a better chance of being able to run Windows Vista as is or with affordable improvements to the system hardware.
