Hi there.

More for Tread, At first i wrote Randolph a little mistake on my part (sorry).

I went to microsoft and got the system requirements for win 7 they are pretty high:

P4 2GHz (probably poor performance since it IS microsoft) or Dual Core 2GHz...

2GB ram THAT IS ALOT OF RAM FOR JUST AN OPERATING SYSTEM.

20-25GB Hard Disk space, it is alot...

Video cards, need a top of the line card or close to top of the line.

But on the up side if you can't find win 7 drivers you could use vista drivers.

I reitterate that i have not touched win 7 but, form what i see it is nothing to write home about, XP still seems to be the best choice to me.

For resonable performance: (XP)

CPU: Celeron 300, or P3 400MHz
RAM: 256MB
Hard disk space: 8GB Fully upgraded with Office XP.
Video card: Pretty much any card AGP or PCI Express interfaces including integrated video "cards" with ram sharing.

When installed properly (with ALL the appropriate drivers and software) the system is quite stable and reliable, and microsoft still supports it, but for how long i do not know.
