I qualify for the deal for students to buy Windows 7. Although, XP users must perform a clean install, as opposed to Visa users, who can perform an upgrade.

It seems that this deal is only for upgrade versions. Is this true? Can XP users use the student deal to install 7?

I have a HP A1720, 3gb ram, 320gb harddrive, windows visa 32bit, intel core 2 processor 6300 @ 1.87mhz.
i did almost everything i can think of such as, ran registry cleaner, ad-ware, spyware, spy bot, norton anti virus, did a disc clean, disc defragmentation with no help in the pc speed on the internet
i hav a high speed internet provided
i dont have too many icon on the desktop either
my pc performance base score is 2.8
processor sub score is 4.9
memory sub score is 5.2
gaming graphics sub score is 3.1
primary hard disc sub score is 5.6
graphics ..desktop performance for windows areo is 2.8

i suspect, my pc is slow because of the graphic or video card..mayb ei have to change it…
my pc video card is an intel(r) 82945G express chipset family…256mb grahhic memory

btw, when i used excel, word, its ok..its only when i’m using the internet

please advice what i need to do to speed up my pc performance when i’m on the internet since its running very slow on the internet

thanks
