    Hey Guys,
    I got this computer for a friend but I need a keyboard to use it. I "borrowed" my brothers keyboard to see if it turns on and such. It blue screened and I had to restore factory defaults. (My start bar is white not green and blue like it should be though?).
    I couldn't run EVEREST or anything(my brother needed is keyboard back). So I searched the specs online that's what I came up with. (As far as I know it's all the same accept I have a 120Gb HD instead of 640Gb)
    My question is:
    Could I run windows 7 32-bit on this rig or no?
    (It says it's designed for XP and is Vista compatable).
    Thanks,
    Spock96

    I'm running it on an Athlon XP 2800, ATI X700 Pro and 2GB of DDR(PC3200). It runs as smooth as it did with XP, maybe a bit better.

    Yes, but why 32 bit? You could go 64 bit and open up your RAM upgrade options beyond the 3.5 GB limit of a 32 bit system.
