Hi Jim

I have an old HP zd8000 Pavilion with Pentium 4 dual core, 3 GHz, 2 GB ram.
Except for the outdated graphics adapter, it runs Windows 7 at a decent 3.9 experience index.

I was about trashing it but, just for the fun, installed Windows 7. A bit of a challenge regarding graphics drivers. But I managed, and that gave this fine old machine a second life.

So add a decent graphics adapter, and you could be off.

The computer only has a couple of GB or RAM, 32bit and only a has dual core
so it is hardly a candidate for another version of Windows.
