   I put another drive in and installed Win7 no problems.   
      
   It's got 2 gigs of RAM and is a dual core 3ghz cpu   
      
      
   My question was one of curiosity  and that was to see if I could upgrade   
   Media Center to Vista.   
      
      
   According the Microsoft's website, Windows Media Center 2005 is   
   upgradeable to Vista Home Premium or Ultimate...but when I tried to   
   upgrade from within a running OS...the upgrade option was not available.   
      
      
   Again, I was doing this just as an experiment ...not because I need to.
