So I picked up a Dell Dimension 4600 Desktop after my buildings supertenent let me grab it from an apartment she was cleaning out.
Anyways, so I have Windows XP Professional SP3 running on it, seems to be fine with it.
Though since all my computers run Windows 7, and Windows XP is no longer getting updates, I was wondering if it was possible to run Windows 7 on the computer I picked up. That is, I can install it but would it run well enough to play livestreams\youtube and 480/720p videos?
SPECS
Pentium 4 (Malaysia) 2.40GHz (800MHz Bus)
512 MB DDR 1 (Dual Channel mode) @ 800MHz
Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 AGP x8 Video card (128MB)
80GB Hitachi DeskStar (IDE)
IDE DVD Burner
I plan to use this computer as the TV/Video computer that will sit next to my desk, playing TV livestreams from Canada, America, or Britian, or I'll be playing youtube videos on it. Maybe set up a randomized playlist of cartoons, anime and sciency shows.
