If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Second question;
It should be fine to run Wordpad, Calc etc it you don't have any AV or other applications
running in the background.
Try to run something like an Office 2010 application and you will be thrashing the hard drive
constantly.
Are you sure that you can't replace the current memory with 2 x 2GB chips?
