It was Vista Home Basic. Same size hard Drive and amount of memory. Intel celeron M 1.6. 80 gb hard drive. Obviously my processor is different. There were things I like about Vista, but the dropouts seemed to be impossible to fix. I did a lot of research and turned off a lot of features without being able to get rid of the dropouts. I had upgraded the memory from 512 k to 1.5 gb with no noticeable difference. I was starting to think it was a bad memory module until I switched to XP and found it to zoom along so well. I love XP. Hope this helps.
