No typo. That’s what this machine has on it. May try upgrade to Win 7.
This machine will be used by my wife to play games with her sister who is 500 miles away. These games are played while I watch NASCAR or NFL. (g)
Not connected to the internet, just talk phone to phone . They can easily spend 3-4 hours.
Anyway the Dell 3200 she is on now has RamBus memory and is very expensive to upgrade.
I can get this ASUS machine w/ 4 g ram cheaper than buying ram for her ‘puter. And a much faster machine.

Oh okay :-)
Chances are pretty good that you can install Win7 on it. I do not recommend an "in-place" upgrade from Vista unless you have no other choice -- you're better off doing a fresh install of Win7. Of course you can use the old Vista key to validate that you only need an "upgrade" version of Win7 (less expensive). But since Microsoft is no longer selling Win7 you'll need to find a copy from a third party reseller. They're pretty common, just pick one that's reputable.
OTOH, if it REALLY is not going to be connected to the internet AT ALL for any reason, and used ONLY for playing a game, then it's probably easier to leave it at Vista, since you won't be taking advantage of the much better features and security of Win7 anyway.
