You have XP, W7 requires more resources so is not worth the upgrade for you.

As with all these new OS, if you don't have gigabytes and gigabytes of RAM don't even think about upgrading. I was running VistaX64 w/6GB RAM and upgraded to Win7X64. Did a clean installation eventhough in theory you cna just upgrade. From XP you have to reformat the HD and do a fresh installation either X32/X64.
XP doesn't recognize anything above 2GB RAM (I think).
I'm now running mostly Win7 at home (but still have one PC on XP not upgradable due to RAM limits) and XP at work.

With V64 and 6GBRAM, Win7 would smoke Vista. Many older XP machines are not going to smoke with 7
XP 32bit will see about 3.5GB of ram - depending on video card (the way memory addressing is handled, the more video card memory you have the less system ram XP will see - strange, I know).
