No way it will run Win 7 of any flavor. Actually it will but without Aero if that video doesn't have compatible drivers. | My System Specs |

No way it will run Win 7 of any flavor. I think it would, but as stated above, it's unlikely Aero would run. Depends on the card itself. I've installed Vista (yes, Vista) on computers with comparable specs to that one and it ran fine, so I think 7 would work well for you. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1
