My laptop, can it handle it? and what drivers?

have Windows Vista Beta on the way... and I have a laptop, to be specific...

ASUS M6R Series

Intel Pentium M 1.5 GHz
ASISTeK Computer M6R Mobo, chipset : Radeon RS300
384MB RAM
40GB HD
Matsushita UJ-831-D
ATI Mobility Radeon 9100 IGP
SoundMAX Digital Audio (?)
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Wifi

It should work, but what drivers are required? and how do I use them when the install asks for them (apparently, If it needs them...)

and when I install it, can I UPGRADE, change XP to Vista? and if I cant, what can I do?? Install over XP? can I have an option to boot either one (which is a last resort!)

And will it run smooth?

Oh, and if I run dual boot, how much space will Vista take up_?

I can't wait

i had a laptop with about the same specs and it took for eeeeeever to install and then didnt work. so if when u put the dvd in and it is extremely slow chances are its not going to install but it might. as for the drivers all i did was insert my applicatin and driver cd i got with the pc and they almost all worked. as for it running smoothly it did a little worse than xp.
