I used it for years until 7 came out. Skipped Vista altogether. 7 is excellent and worth the switch though.

LOL, yeah adding memory will improve the performance of almost any computer. 3GB is nowhere near enough for Windows 7. Mine came with 8GB out of the box.

Actually, Win 7 can run on less than a 1Gb. Plenty of ports to netbooks proves this.

Of course its not fun, but it works well enough for casual use.

And adding RAM always will show greater yields in speed than increasing something else like clock speed. 6Gb should do the OP fine, especially since he doesn't game.

I run Win 7 64bit with 4 Gb RAM and its wonderfully snappy. Much better than Vista with memory use, although Vista wasn't terrible.
