In my professional opinion, I recommend at least a 2 GHz dual core CPU and 4 GB of RAM using Windows 7 64Bit.
2 GB of RAM is only 15-30 Dollars. Well worth it right now.

Re: Windows 7 or Vista
I liked XP and 7 but I never did like Vista, I do not know why exactly as I never had that many opportunities to use it. However it never did sit right with me.

Because it was the "Windows ME" of WinOS. Bugs, Blue Screens, Drivers, etc.
Win7 is will worth the $100.

Re: Windows 7 or Vista
Absolutely 7 over VISTA. As someone else mentioned Vista was glitchy.
Crackerjack said they changed the name from Vista to 7 but it was not just a name change. It is a new operating system.
Also keep in mind that Microsoft will only support old operating systems for a limited number of years and VISTA is now several years out of date.
Because things change so fast I do not recommend buying used computers unless they are just an absolute bargain. New desktops and laptops can be found for under $300 now and really good ones for under $600.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I spend about 300 just on a video card. But then again, I build a top of the line computer in 2000 and it lasted until 2009. If you only spend 300 it will only last you about 3 years. Just keep that in mind.

Re: Windows 7 or Vista
Is it best to buy from a retail store or direct from a company, like Dell? I prefer Dell computers.

Re: Windows 7 or Vista
Is it possible to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 on my old computer? I am going to try to get it repaired and see why it won't start.

Google "Windows 7 Upgrade advisor" and download it from the Microsoft web site. It'll look at your system and tell you if it'll run Win 7 and also problems you may have with drivers and such.
