Windows 7 on my machine

[Ricochet J]

I have off course read the recommended requirements however I wanted to ask if anyone had experience running Windows 7 off something similar to:

AMD Athlon 64 3200
1GB RAM
Plenty of HDD Space
ATI x800xl

Will it be slow? Is the RAM the only thing I should upgrade? Opinions?

Thanks

Should run it fine, but getting 2gb ram might be a good idea. Processor is fine, but I think Win 7 benefits quite a bit from multi-core processors.

If you can find a second hand Athlon X2 processor for dirt cheap then it might be worth it, but otherwise don't bother.
