XP or Win7

My laptop has 1gb RAM.

Would Xp or Win7 run better ?

I have 1GB RAM and windows 7 runs fine for me.

Windows 7 will run smooth on that, and it's better supported / saturated with features than its XP counterparts.

Thanks, think ill get win7 for it. Just i thought you needed atleast 2gb,

Do this instead:
1. Put your disc in the tray.
2. Restart.
3. If it asks to install windows when starting up ("Press any key to start the windows installer..." or similar), press any key.

If it doesn't ask, and just boots your current copy of windows:
1. Restart again
2. Go into BIOS (mash F2 or Del just as you turn it on)
3. Set CD-ROM as the first item and HDD as the second in the start-up routine.
4. Restart and try again.
