    Hi,

    I would definately upgrade the RAM first - 1GB is barely adequate to run Windows 7 in all its glory. 4GB of DDR3 RAM would be ideal for 32 bit Windows 7, but make sure its compatible with your motherboard.

    Regards,

    You have DDR 2 RAM now. It may be that your motherboard will accept ONLY DDR 2 RAM.

    DDR 2 is more expensive than the newer DDR 3.

    You can get 4 GB of DDR 2 in the USA for roughly $50. That's enough for most users.

    The second thing I'd recommend is an SSD--solid state drive, for maybe $100 US.

    That's an old PC. I would be careful about putting money into it, rather than rebuilding it with a new motherboard, new CPU, and the newer DDR 3 RAM.

    You can get a pretty powerful upgrade of those 3 primary parts for $400 to $500 in the US. Might be higher in your locale.
