remember you just have a 32bit processor - 2.5gb ram is enough (the maximum adressspace is 3gb). do you have 1 or 2 hds?. you will face a slow machine with win7 or higher - take win xp for gaming. and a 2nd os like linux for the work incl. the whole i-net stuff. meanwile xp is inherently insecure - dont use it for "important" things.

No in so many ways. Max address size is 4 gb in 32 bit processors. Doesn't matter though as the E2200 is 64 bit. Also, don't take xp for anything as it is no longer supported. Stick with your copy of 7, it will do. When 10 comes out, take your free upgrade to it. Also, although Linux is cool, and can be useful when on a budget, I would not recommend a second os for anything unless there is something that only it can do that you need. All it will probably do in your case is take up space.
