Thank You for your fast response

The default configuration of your computer is a Pentium 4 2.8C, 512MB DDR (two 256MB sticks) with two open slots, and a Geforce FX5200.
The short answer is yes, your computer supports Windows 7. However it won't run very fast on only 512MB of RAM, as that's the absolute minimum required to install Windows 7. I would recommend an upgrade to 1GB or more if you don't already have it. 2GB would be the best.
Also, the Geforce FX series of videocards do not support the transparency effects of Windows 7's user interface (Aero). Geforce 6000-series are the first cards to support this. The operating system will still work, it just won't look very good.

Thank You for you response.I have 2GB of ram now and I can get 2 more for $20.00 pc 3200 ram.What about the sound will it still work? Or will I have to get a sound card also? And Thank You Again for your help.

At worst u would spend around $10 for the sound card, but if the MS adviser OK'd it it will work.

Will my sound still work after I install Windows 7 or will I have to buy a sound card? I have vista already on my computer if that help you at all.As you can see I don't knoe much at all,but I will ask about it.
