| 826130 | 2009-11-01 06:02:00 | Yes w7 should run on this. Hard drive is a little small but should be ok. |

| 826131 | 2009-11-01 06:02:00 | The M2N-MX SE Plus mobo has windows 7 32 and 64 bit drivers, so cant see why not. The BIOS may have to be updated as well, its up to 0503 now | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 826132 | 2009-11-01 06:13:00 | Now that sounds good. More ram do you think? Another 1GB? So is the ram instal something I can do? W XP Home to W7 Home Premium would be a clean instal,Yes? Only dreaming at the moment. PJ |

| 826133 | 2009-11-01 06:20:00 | Great idea PJ. Installing ram is as simple as it gets. |

| 826134 | 2009-11-01 06:21:00 | 160gig hard drive is plenty hell I'm still using an 80gig and its only about 20% full as most stuff is on the server | gary67 (56) | ||
| 826135 | 2009-11-01 06:22:00 | I have a computer fairly similar to that (except the HDD smaller and the CPU is single core) and Windows 7 beta ran fine on it. Some more RAM would certainly be ideal, and it's a fairly easy to install (there are loads of tutorials on the net) :thumbs:. |

Only dreaming at the moment . PJ Throw in another 2gb RAM is cheap as chips:D And yes, you can only clean install from XP to 7 |

Only dreaming at the moment . PJ the second question . . . XP to W7, a clean instal after reformatting the HD Yes? PJ |

| 826138 | 2009-11-01 07:23:00 | Here is another hypothetical. A) Fit another 1GB ram. Save all data. reformat HD & reinstal XP Home. or B) Fit another 1GB ram. Save all data. Reformat HD. Instal W7 Home Premium. I assume my cd XP is a 32 bit one. The computer can be a 64 bit one. W7 is either. Forget the difference in eyecandy. Is B going to be much better than A ? PJ |
