My Dad's computer has the following specs....
Pentium 4 3.2
Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000G
Antec EA-650W Power Supply
2 GB Corsair DD400
Maxtor 6B300SO 300GB Serial ATA HD
Radeon X1950 Pro
He wants to upgrade from XP to Win7 but is not sure if the computer is powerful enough ?
I also have Win 7 and was wondering whether it would be cheaper to just buy an additional licence for the same disc ?
Also whether it would have to be 32 bit rather than 64 bit ?
Finally I was thinking of buying a new Sata drive for his machine and installing Win 7 on there rather than format the old drive first.
Would you still be able to buy a compatible drive ?
Thanks
