I have a Toshiba NB305 Netbook. It came with Windows 7 Starter on it, and I am looking into upgrading to Windows 7 Home Edition, but need to be sure it will be supported. Everything looks good, however unsure if the graphic card will be good enough. Need opinions please...

My specs are below;

Processor: Intel Atom CPU N455 @ 1.66 GHz
Memory: 1.00 GB
Disk Space: 223 GB total, 195 GB free
System Type: 32-bit Operating System
Graphic Card: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (DirectX 9c Support)

Microsoft says the System Requirements for a 32-bit Operating System are;

Processor: 1 Ghz or faster
Memory: 1 GB
Disk Space: 16 GB
Graphic Card: DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

one clan under any god,individually,
with chunky cheese curds and cheese nips for all.

Thank you. You don't think it will slow it down if I do that, do you?

it is already slow with the starter version so doubt it will be any slower with other versions. i suggest tho to make it somewhat faster is to max out your ram as you are not using all 1 gig for windows as some is used for onboard video. also edit you sig so only shows 5 lines of text as per forum rules.
