Morning and Happy 4th!!

I'm considering spending $100 for a copy of Win 7 32-bit which will do a clean install on the below system and get me started with a fresh copy of 7, replacing the XP I still have and now don't want. I also don't mind upgrading the memory sticks to 2 1 MB sticks from the 512 each I have now if that might make any difference?

Is it worth a try?

Thank you,
