My PC has a modest 1gig of memory...okay-ish for XP, but what's the minimum memory for Win 7 ?


I've gathered that 2gigs is about minimum for Vista, so went out to buy an upgrade for my PC in anticipation of installing Win 7. Sadly, I've got two half gigs as memory, so it means throwing that investment away I suppose.

When I got to the store, the nice lass said my PC 2700 DDR SDRAM was the old type and this means that two gigs was going to cost me twice as much as modern (faster) memory. That's annoying. But is it true? I know that I can't use memory that's too slow, but why can't I use faster memory - or is it a case of the slot not being appropriate?

HP AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (2.2GHz) 1200MHz System bus.
