Mhh... It'll run,but i doubt you'll be able to really play games... Upgrade your RAM and CPU... and possibly the video card. CS3,i doubt it. it needs a real good pc... Also,what's your graphic ram?

Everything was ok only the Graphics Cards aren't good!They can't run Aero soo...
Mmm but other computers with worse system specs than mine can run Win 7 without problem!!!
And my video card memory is 128mb Ram...

the GPU itself may be too weak.

The good news is graphic cards are cheap these days! Does your mobo have agp or pci-e video?

Looking at the rest of the specs,i'd think he has AGP.

True, but the total Win7 experience will not be as good and you may experience slow-downs and hangs if the system isn't up to the minimum specs.

I realize that this thread us old and almost dead, but I thought I'd mention that Goodwill is now selling Dell Optiplex GX280's with Windows 7 shoehorned onto them. My google search to figure port why is what brought me to this forum.

Well, welcome to Seven Forums Smattnc.
I don't understand your issue though.
