All windows 7 needs is an XP config with better graphics
512mb Ram
5gb space
945's onboard graphics should work fine
3.4ghz is very good for win 7

I usually give the reference websites/links for the user to
learn more about the subject, instead of telling
try this Graphics card, or do this , do that.
"too much spoon feeding"inhibits the learning process.
2.
Your reply should be directed to the thread starter, instead of other
users/posts, . The thread will go "OFF tangent !"
You are free to say "Why download windows 7 upgrade advisor"
and make your own recommendations.

3.
Also my experience with hardware configuration etc is limited to
say three or four desktops/laptops, and I cannot recommend
something about which I have no direct knowledge/experience.
I have no idea motherboard945 ( assumed to be which manufacturer?)
has a built in graphics card.
4.
If you had mentioned it in your earlier post, I would have refrained from
posting in this thread.

Para two :
5.
No point in using FULL QUOTE from the earlier post.
It is usually done, for a thread
for an old post ,with say 20 or 30 posts.
Then you post your comments/suggestions, contradicting it,
or correct any wrong information.

Para three:
6.
You may suggest a graphic card with cost with "AERO effect"to @rocky73 .
appears he needs another card instead of the built in graphics( card ) in motherboard.

Sorry dude,Ill keep this in my mind

If you want a basic graphics card for aero effects, just get a basic graphics card for your system, something like the ATI HD 4350 512MB for Rs1900 or the Nvidia 8400GS 512MB for Rs1600, I would go for the ATI between the two.

Just make sure that you have a PCI-e , PCI express x16 slot.
