I just recieved a Intel Core 2 Duo T5200 / 1.6 GHz Toshiba Satellite a135-s4467. Currently it's rocking 1GB ram and Vista Home Premum. Is it worth upgraging to 4GB and Win 7? It will be used to run Windows only programs, the few that i have.

Definitely. That CPU is 64-bit and a small upgrade in the RAM/OS will make it purr much better and you'll enjoy using it.

I bet it'd run windows XP well without a hardware upgrade.

there's no good reason to put Vista on there. XP or 7, or linux.
