0	The graphics card is good. The worry I have is with the RAM. Instead of putting your money into a new OS, put it into RAM with better timings. Then upgrade. If you're desperate for a new OS, try Ubuntu. answered Jan 10 '11 at 13:51 HHBones 4.1k●61●82●118

I'd recommend that you first upgrade to 4GB of RAM first, which is cheap now days. Then I'd go ahead and purchase Windows 7 which will run like a dream for you.

4 gigs is completely unnecessary. One or two is all he'd need.
