That is an okay PC but your behind just like me

Pentium 4 should not be running Windows 7 If i was you (I am using Windows XP On my 2.8GHz Pentium 4) I dont believe it can run Windows 7 with that amount of ram. 1 GB RAM is not enough.

Graphics card is 2X better than mine (envy) and it is quite good.

XP and Ubuntu are good (I used both)

Relitively good but Microsoft does not support XP Anymore :(

I recommend a new computer as I will get one soon as well.

i recommend getting at least 2GB of ram if you can but if its a tower you can always buy it later

Ya probably should try to get another 2GB considering my BIOS can go up to 1GB of shared graphics memory and there very cheap on ebay
Windows 7 surprisingly runs very smooth but can't enable any fancy effects only the basic theme
Windows XP SP3 is supported until 2014
I think I might upgrade the whole lot instead of getting a new PC as its probably cheaper.My old one broke because the Power Supply sent a shockwave down the
motherboard and the other parts I WAS SO FUKING SAD
it was custom buit and had
CPU:3.06GHz Core i5
RAM:2.5GB
HDD:250GB
Ghraphics:Forget make but it had 512mb and 388mhz cpu
and it windows 7 so I'm stuck with this

That PC now dead cuz I was trying to change motherboard and it didn't work out so good isn't big loss but now i'm stuck with netbook till christmas
