Get Win7 or stick with XP?
2.4 GHz single core
1gb ram
256mb video memory
Advisor says not capable of Aero. Stationary computer.
Upgrade to W7 or keep XP?

Depends on the cards, but the early 6xxx series for nvidia supported them I think? But either way your computer should do fine under Win7, though a little more ram and better gfx wouldn't hurt for games, you should be just fine. Most programs don't utilize multi-core as well as they should, so single core isn't so bad. I just upgraded, the main thing I notice is how fast windows boots but it still angers me on loading times =O
My bro's mini pc has almost same specifications..
amd sempron single core 2.4ghz
2gb ram ddr 667
ati radeon 128mb (don't remember the exact model)
and supports aero decently!

Alright, I'll install WIN7 then. Thanks
you should consider upgrading your ram to at least 2GB I suggest.
Go with 7. It'll even run on 1GB (unlike Vista), and it's better than XP for the same performance. If you get 2GB (a good idea anyway), it'll run even better.
I've installed it and you guys were right. It runs super smooth. I should have realized it would work since my pc has a dedicated graphics unit and my laptop has an intergrated, and it works on my laptop.
I'll probably either end up changing out ram and gpu and stuff like that on this pc soon, but for now things are working great. Lag free, all effects run smooth like aero etc.
Thanks
