Stick it in, reboot and press next a few times.
Depends whether you are upgrading or formatting first.
Formatting first just make sure you've got everything backed up.

Download the drivers you need for your motherboard to work just encase you cannot connect to the Internet on win7, store them on a usb stick if you don't have the motherboard disc, just to safe.

it might be slower if you upgraded, hence why most people do a clean install on a formatted drive.

Yep im going to have to format it when ian gets chance to come round/ i have all the disks etc sorted out.
im constantly using 1.3gb of ram since the upgrade so will format it and start again when i have someone here who knows what they are doing.
edit: after installing some updates and restarting its dropped to below 900mb of ram  never bin that low!!
