I recently wrote about upgrading a PC from Vista to Windows 7. The cost was about £80 for software upgrade and £25 for extra memory.
It has been worth it. The machine is more reponsive and setting up network connections and printers much easier. The configuration is a 2.4GHz, Core 2 duo PC with 4GB RAM, 750GB hard drive, (250-500 partitions), a 2TB WD green drive, and a 2.7TB RAID. The only slow part to be investigated is the100Mb network.
The WD Green drives are not blistering fast, but they are very cool (in the sense of temperature). This should help reliablity, and mean that computer fans can run less often, giving me a quieter life.
Graphics are not important, so the PC has the standard graphics interface, but Windows 7 aero does work.
