768 MB RAM and Home Basic

Hello,

Many websites show the minimum system requirements for Vista Home Basic:
they say 512 MB RAM will do.

I have this "old" PC (P4 1.7 GHz, 3 x 256 MB RAM, Geforce6200 64-bit), a
"Siemens Scenic T", and I am wondering if "Home Basic" will run smootly on
this machine.

Although it meets the minimum system requirements, I need to know if "Home
Basic" _WILL_ run smoothly on this computer.

Nothing "special" will be done on this machine, just internet, some basic
word processing Ã* la MS Word, opening photographs, listening to music (MP3),
watching the average online movie like on YouTube.

Before I spend money on Vista (Home Basic) for this computer, I sort of need
to know if it will run "normally" with the above mentioned specifications.

Perhaps this question may have been asked a zillion times by now... so a
simple "Yes" will do for me... :-)

Thanks.
