a possible hit for you on a win7 upgrade, http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load...503211270.html but read all the comments. i think it's supposed to be technically possible, but not advisable. i'd follow Prax advice, those are both good progs, and maybe just limit your surfing on that machine. i tried on a very similar(maybe even the same) tower w/o adding ram, and was disappointed

Very interesting information. I'll just delete email program on desktop and get my email on iPad....maybe even do online banking on iPad also. I don't worry well and all this technology is confusing!

well, then you might do yourself a humongous favor, and research an iMac--i stumbled into one about a year ago, and have not given a single thought to...any, as in 0, none, of the issues inherent in microsoft. Clicked a bad link and DLed a virus from FB about a month ago; yawn. wicked fast. i have like 9 browsers on it, and never a burp. i'm ruined for windows now, and while win7 is ok, how long before you are getting forced into win8, which is already out, and a living nightmare? i paid $700 for this one, and would pay $700 more tomorrow rather than switch to a brand new, 64 bit, cadillac win 8 pig. ok well, i'm the guy who doesn't use money, so it'd have to be goat's milk...
