My mother's old computer is starting to die on her software wise. It's had the same original install of windows XP for probably 6-7 years. She's the kind of person that doesn't notice those little boxes to uncheck when installing things so there a billion different search bars on her web browser.

Anyway she doesn't use a computer for anything outside of web-surfing and email. I'd like to reformat it and get it all cleaned up with a new install.

Do you think an AMD +2000XP processor with 1gb of memory will handle windows 7 or is that going to sink? Right now it's so nailed with bloatware it isn't even functional.
 
If the system won't be upgraded at all from where it currently is then you will probably want to stay with XP
