Microsoft Vista?!? Are you just joking around?

Try and get Windows 7 at least. PR is running on an '05 bf2 engine, so you won't need much in the way of specs.

That's the computer he currently has...

Build a PC with a decent(any of them in last 2-3 generations is fine) INTEL cpu.

Don't throw away good money after bad by upgrading that PC.

You should be able to find better PCs on Ebay for less than CA$225, it's that old there is no value left in upgrading.
