Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 Within the radius of 25 miles from LA. |
2 GB ram is the absolute minimum required for smooth Windows 7 64-bit experience according to Microsoft. Your system is only using 1 stick of 2 GB DDR2 hence your system will be on the slow side. Windows 7 64-bit generally occupies 1.2 GB of RAM alone. Keep in mind that when you use your browser (Chrome/Chromium is the most memory hog in my experience), it will use around 400 or more MB with a couple of tabs thus making Windows use a lot of pagefile writing which slows your PC down to a crawl. Adding another 2 GB of the same RAM should improve your performance considerably.

This is the max my motherboard can take, hence my desire for x64, so that I could use it all.
My motherboard was designed for xp and vista not 7.
But I don't use the pc enough to justify a big upgrade

My understanding is. Your system is a 2006. Windows didn't come out untill 2009. So with a OEM/SLP will not be a legal install. Don't worry Noel will spank me if I'm wrong. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Didn't XP come with the PC? I'd reinstall it until you decide to buy Windows 7. Because there's a possibility a bootleg copy has something added, I'd also wipe the HD using DBAN before reinstaling XP.
Please also edit the post with the Mgadiag report, highlight all of it and click the # on toolbar to contain it in a codebox so it stops distorting our browsers. | | My System Specs | | |

I have installed a 30 day trial. Which is doing some heavy updating right now.
I will have ample time to investigate it. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number homebrew
