   The pc with 1GB RAM has been discarded.   
      
   My Brother let his Son-In-Law clean the HDD up before trashing it.   
      
   I hope the SIL used Derek's DBAN on it instead of just Deleting   
   my Brothers Files, or returning the pc 'As Received' with the DVD   
   Restore Set I made for my Brother's computer years ago.   
      
   I've told my Brother I could get almost everything off his HDD using   
   RECUVA if his HDD wasn't Scrubbed Clean first.   
      
   I looked at HP's pages yesterday and their instructions shows going   
   from Vista to Win7 - instead of XP to Win7, so I dropped a note to them   
   asking about XP to WIN7.

   From what I gathered yesterday it looks like 2GB RAM is the MINIMUM   
   needed for using WIN7 so I'm good to go with my 3GB RAM, if they sell   
   WIN7 for a price I'm comfortable with.   
      
   AND IF I don't have any Hardware Issues as Roy had with going to Vista.
