Yeah mine is a Dell d5150 / e510 - P4 3ghz (64 bit, sadly no HW virt, so no Hyper-V or XP mode) . Got Win7 Ult and 2008 R2 standard on it (both are 64 bit versions) - Upgraded from the 1gb to 3gb of ram because i needed games and i do 3d modelling (has an geforce 8600 512mb vid card ) Runs very well indeed.

The Nvidia drivers for win7 are good.

P.S. Upgrading from Server 2003 which i had before (32 bit and not R2) to 2008 (R2 - 64b only) was a huge pain. No option for inplace upgrade. For some reason 2008 R2 seemed much faster than Win7, even when you added the desktop role (which adds aero, games, media player, etc...)

Upgrading from XP pro x64 (which i had before) to Win7 ult/64 was also not possible.

MS should have worked harder to get a good in-place upgrade method sortted out IMHO.

I often wonder how many ppl actually make use of such upgrade paths anyhow? To be honest, have never seen a seamless upgrade install (on any OS) that was picture perfect, or that didn't end up to some degree as a kind of Frankenstein OS install. As to an upgrade from XP to Win7 - remember that a whole raft of software (not to mention all those drivers) which are not cross-compatible... trying to make such an upgrade possible would be nigh on impossible, especially for the average end-user to perform.

To be honest, I always prefer to simply back-up all important data externally and run a fresh install anyhow.... much easier to trouble-shoot if something goes awry on all the subsequent app and driver installs
