Win7 drivers!  

Ok, i have installed Win7 yesterday for the 1st time on my PC.
My pc components are next:

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20Ghz
RAM memory: 1.50 GB
System type: 32-bit
Graphic Card: ATI Radeon x1600 series (but gonna change it soon)

So, I have 2 questions to ask.

Question 1:
Am I gonna have problems with Win7 with those components above?

Question 2:
Because ATI didn't release drivers for my graphic card from X series of cards,
am I gonna be able to use Vista x32bit drivers, are they compatible for Win7?

Thanks.

1. You should upgrade your RAM, 1.5GB is barely sufficient for most applications, you should have at least 2GB
2. Vista drivers will work

Thanks all.

Great, it says everything works perfect.

The processor is close to what I have and there are no problems. I have 4 GB of ram. If you can add some, it will make a difference as to how your PC runs, but what you have now should be good. I found that all the drivers were on the Win 7 disk.

Ye, I can add.
I will buy 1GB more... which should be enough for x32 bit version, right? :)

yeah since 32-bit won't see more than 3gig ram.

Depends on what you are going to be running. If you're going to treat this machine like XP, I would just disable a bunch of the unnecessary system processes and services with msconfig, it'll drastically speed things up. If you want to game on it or play any resource heavy programs (maya, photoshop, etc...), I'd definitely get more RAM. Otherwise aim for somewhere between 30-50 processes running (you can check with Task Manager). But aside from that, if this is a laptop, I wouldn't use it for gaming anyway.
