sorry , not trying to derail the thread...

What do you have for a processor? What kind of computer / mobo?

I would say stick with XP - you want a decent processor, chipset, 2GB of faster memory (for example you may be running DDR and not DDR2 or better), and a faster SATA drive (your 40GB is likely a PATA) for W7 to be tolerable. Your machine will probably be faster with XP than if you installed 7 on it. There is no eureka moment to having Win7 unless you have suffered through Vista.
