What are the rest of the specs of the PC in question?
Seems to me if it's only got a 20gig drive in it, the Vista (Even vLited) will run like molasses on it.

Best way is to read and decide if you need the components.
Most important things to remove are
All asian laguages - 1GB
All printer drivers - 700mb
Games - 300MB
Speech suport 1GB
and native speech support 700MB
