I have an old Compaq laptop I was going to set up for my mother-in-law to use, basically to play online games. I have several free licenses for XP, Vista Home Basic, and Windows 7 Home Basic/Starter. I'd rather not use XP if possible, because she's used to their newer computers in the house, all of which run Vista. If I have to, I will, but I'm curious to see what low-spec PCs have you gotten Vista or Windows 7 to run on...and run decent enough to use for the basics?
The laptop in question is an AMD 1800+ (1533 MHz), 1 GB DDR memory, and ATI IGP graphics (16 MB of dedicated memory).
