Dell Gx270 Help
Hello all,
I recently just bought a Dell Gx270 from ebay at 50 bucks, considering that's all I can afford at the age of 15...
My questions is: Can I put windows vista or 7 on the machine? It has Windows XP right now. I can careless about the support ending problem, it's just that I get along better with newer versions of windows.
Statistics:
1 GB RAM
40 GB Hard Drive
Pentium 4 processor
--I tried putting Vista on it before, but the screen was half white, so I canceled it. XP came back on. Is there any way I can get a new graphics card or something to support it? I heard in desktops that you can do that.
Please don't say "THAT'S OLD MAN GET A NEW ONE!!!"
Like I said, I am content with it's age; I would simply want a better operating system.
Thanks.

If it has a dedicated graphics card it will work, otherwise the onboard Intel 82865G doesn't have a Windows Vista or later compatible driver and you will likely have issues installing Windows 7.
