Default Will my Laptop run Vista?

hi,
could someone tell me if my laptop will run Vista, these are my specs:

CPU - Mobile Intel Pentium 4 3.20 GHz
Memory - 2GB DDR SODIMM
Hard Drive - 60 GB NB hard drive
Video / Graphics Card - ATI Radeon™ 9100 64MB + TV Out

Also will my laptop run Aero?
Any Help is Appreciated.

Yes, but I don't know about the graphics card, you need to check ATI's
website to find out if there are drivers for that. Like Dharray says, use
the upgrade advisor to help you make the right decision.

Is there any way to FORCE Aero glass, like some sort of regedit or something?

Kinda like hooking a garden hose up to a fire hydrant. Sure, water will
come out, but...

No. The card must support 3D rendering and the manufacturer of the card
must supply an LDDM driver.

Found this on TweakVista.com. I have not tried this because my video card
supports the Aero Glass inteface. Please try at your own risk.

Enable Vista Glass look on Unsupported Video Cards
