Hi :)
I think Win7 uses less resources than Vista.  it was the first time they de-bloated their OS = an 
attempt to fit it onto mobile devices such as tablets (ok, not very mobile but more mobile than 
desktops).  So upgrading from Vista to Win7 might well be a good idea without worrying about 
upgrading Ram.  

"Just play a few games"!  It's games that typically push the limits of computers and push people 
into upgrading hardware.  
Regards from
Tom :)

I will say though... I consider 1GB to be the *bare minumum* on an XP
box but it will still be sluggish. I couldn't use it with 512MB, it
would drive me to drink.

For XP, I always recommend 2GB, and for 7 (won't touch Vista), minimum
is 4GB.

The system came with 512 from the factory.  All the systems I dealt with
that had XP from the factory has 512 for ram.

Irrelevant to my point. The fact is, XP is simply a total DOG with less than 1GB RAM, and is much 
better with 2GB.

I do not have Win7, but would like to replace my Vista laptop with
it.

Just be sure to get 64bit with at *least* 4GB, but much better would be 8G.

Sorry, but my Vista laptop maxed out at 3 GB, so I will need to install Win7 with 3 GB.  It was not 
made for Win7 but almost anything is better than Vista. I doubt that I will be able to get it to 
have more memory than the 3 GB installed, but I will look into it.

I want to get that system upgraded in the near future so I can deal with the Win7 people and their 
LO needs.  It is getting to be a problem not having a Win7 system for supporting people.  I prefer 
Ubuntu, but most of my friends use Win7 now.  Only one uses Linux.

I really want to keep supporting LO under Windows, so as people buy new systems with Win7, I am 
loosing ground with them.  One girl bought a very powerful 17" laptop, just to type notes, play 
videos, and browse the Net.  She spent three times as much as needed for doing just that type of 
"work".  I would love such a laptop, but I cannot afford one like that.  At least she is using LO 
now and not get convinced that she had to have MSO.
