I'd upgrade to 2gb (gigabytes) of physical ram (four if you can for vista), but other than that, yes, it *should* run the program, but not as optimally, as vista is somewhat of a memory hog. 2 gig of memory is a pretty much an assured bet for good starters.

Another gig of ram would help a lot. Also, if your version of Trainz has it, run trainzdiag located in the Auran Bin folder. It will pinpoint any short comings in your system relating to the trainz program.

I concur that based upon what you list, your computer should run Trainz, except that I'd want to know the specs (type, and memeory size) of your graphics card.
