Dell Dimension 3000 - Should I Upgrade it to Windows 7, or Not?

I have some older computers in my house that I still let family members use...

One is a Dell Dimension 3000
The other is a Dell Optiplex GX260

Both have XP. Will Windows 7 work on these systems? Should I upgrade?

Many thanks for the link! I will definitely give it a run.

If my computers will take Windows 7, what should I do?

Is there any reason why I should keep XP?

Does Windows 7 run better than XP?

Thanks for the help!

Have a read of this thread. We just had this discussion over the last couple days.
