Absolutely it will.
Also a wiser choice since you'll be having 2 GBs of RAM. Vista requires to much of it.

That's crazy high i think your PC would shutdown with a temperature like that. Install SpeedFan and check if it gives you the same temperature readings. It seems that PCW is giving you straight out wrong readings

I would suggest opening your case and touching your ram, if you can hold your hand on it withhout it burning the hell out of you, you should just ignore the bad temperature sensor.
