Compatibility
I hope this is a simple enough question. My son's computer just fried, and mine is the only one left operational in the house. He must have a Windows system for his school work. I've been using Linux exclusively and have never had Windows on this computer. I went to MS to see if this computer is compatible to load Windows 7 on to it, but their compatibility test will not work download with Linux. I have a home built system. Can anyone tell me if the following components will run Windows 7 so that I can dual boot them?
AMD Athlon 64 X 2 6400+
Biostar TA790GX-128M
4 Gb Kingston (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
EGVA 8800 GTS graphics
No Sound Card
Thanks.
