WinAmp requires a PC 500 MHz or greater.

This is what the folks at WinAmp say about Vista compatibility:

Is Windows Vista supported?
Yes, but there are currently a few known issues that the development  
team are working on. DirectSound hardware acceleration no longer  
exists on Vista (resulting in potentially broken support for 5.1/7.1  
speakers); Skinned scrollbars may not be displayed correctly; Video  
playback may be a bit flaky (most likely related to old/buggy video  
drivers or DirectShow codecs) or doesn't work at all with Aero  
enabled; and DWM/Flip3D displays the built-in Classic skin for all  
Modern skins (note, you can enable support by setting  
vista_thumbnail=1 in winamp.ini, but it still won't work when Winamp  
is minimized). We hope to resolve most if not all of these issues in  
forthcoming Winamp releases.
