Though, your specs are low. I would stay with XP, cause 7 does take little more to run than XP.

If anyone ever says 7 sucks, it is their computer. If they say it is a resource hog, they just don't know what they are talking about.

7 is proven to be more quicker, more responsive, and just overall better than XP, and Vista...

But it does really need a 2GHz or better to run smooth.

My friend has a 1.8Ghz, (Dual Core though) runs 7 great

Other friend has a 2.0GHz Single core Desktop, it runs 7 smooth also.


This is very true, I installed Win7 on my old computer which only has 2.6Ghz, a 256 Nvidia FX5200 and 512Ram and it ran quicker than XP in my opinion, it also managed H264 (HD) video formats better

I Would not say you have to get it, But it is so much easier to use, Much more complex as well.

I Would Recommend getting it though.

If you need an excuse to buy a new one, just install Vista. :carling:
