Is - this PC Capable of Windows 7 to install?

My nephew is using a:

2007 Dell Vostro 200 desktop computer (model # C4B29F1)

Processor Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60 GHz 1.60 GHz,

0.99 GB of RAM

80 GB HDD (28.2 used GB, GB FreeSpace 46.1)

32-bit system

Windows XP Home Premium, SP 3

I attempt to analyze (taken from the Dell site), the current system for HDD and RAM usage information, but the scan is cut in the Middle process.  While trying to access sites, always error message that system must be updated.

My parents will undergo lend them $ for upgrade this computer or buy a new one.  Neither they nor I have a clue of what is (appropriate) average price to pay for a cell phone or average/appropriate new office, or to consider a renewed system.  It does not much games.  For the most part use the computer for school work, surfing the web and other.

I need to know if this current desktop computer is able to run Windows 7 or if it would be better to buy a new computer?

Please notify.

Thank you!

There is NO drivers for Dell Vostro for any OS beyond Vista 32 bit. If you install Windows 7, it is highly unlikely work properly, and it certainly will not happen as well as he does running XP or Vista 32-bit.

My advice to anyone looking to upgrade an older machine is first to check for a set of hardware drivers because they are just as important as the level of the hardware itself.

Do NOT upgrade your Vostro 200. He won't thank you for it, and you don't thank him for the performance it gives back
