    I don't think a PC like that would like windows 7 very much at all. Depending on what you actually plan to do with it, I'd be inclined to go with XP.

    I'd scrap this project. Save the $100 until you can spend $500 bucks.

    not sure if this is a troll or not but my phone has more power then that.

    up the ram and should be alright for windows 8. Depends on the clock speed for the processor though. You will only be able to play solitare and minesweeper though. I doubt you'd have the power to run flash based facebook games well either as flash uses some unique code for accelerated graphics.
