HI I HAVE UPPLIED THE VISTA ADVISORY TOOL AND BEEN TOLD THAT MY PROCESSOR ITS NOT ENOUGH I HAVE A 533MHZ, IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO APART FROM BUYING A NEW LAPTOP ? ' WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I INSTALL VISTA ON MY ATUAL SYSTEM -- YOEL ZELTZER

Please, kill the caps! The "Caps Lock" key is located in between the Shift and Tab keys on the left of your keyboard.
Are you confusing the bus speed of the CPU with the clock speed? The Pentium M 730 is a 1.6 GHz part with a bus speed of 533 MHz. The 800 MHz requirement is referring to the clock speed, not the bus speed.

the vista upgrade adivsor is correct. if you try to run vista on a 533Mhz processor, it will run very slowly, but will still run (you will not get to use aero glass, or flip 3d, though). I strongly discourage installing vista on such a system. if you can't afford a new system, you'll get better performance out of XP, and won't have to deal with the bugs in Vista Beta 2. Start saving your money, and buy a new system with Vista pre-installed.

Sorry - Pentium M 730 is 1.6ghz. the upgrade advisor apparently detects the reduced speed when running in low power mode. The performance rater in Vista should detect your processors performance correctly. It will probably not be good enough to run aero glass, but it should otherwise run reasonably well.

Correct. Later models of laptops will scale down the processor and bus speed in order to save battery power when AC is disconnected. This is usually controlled within the BIOS so if Vista is running like a dead dog while on battery then consider adjusting the BIOS settings to improve performance. Obviously the battery won't last as long so you'll want to find a good balance or get another battery, heheh.
But Vista should run quite nicely on the M 730.

Athlon 64 processors (like mine) also scale down the speed while on battery, but mine won't normally get below 1ghz, and can't run below 800mhz at all.

HI I HAVE AN INTEL PENTIUM M PROCESOR 730 WITH 533MHZ VISTA REQUIRES AN 800NHZ AT LEAST, MY QUESTION IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I ITRY TO INSTALL WITH MY PROCESSOR -- YOEL ZELTZER

STOP SHOUTING!
If the advisor is telling you this, then it is wrong. A Pentium M 730 is well beyond the required specs and is NOT a 533mhz processor.
