I suppose you to install Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. The followings is my own experience. If you intend to install other version of Windows 7, you should read the installation manual online from Microsoft Website before buy.

CPU

CPU is not an important factor to run Windows 7. Even I had installed Windows 7 beta version in my netbook : Acer Aspire One - Atom 1.6G CPU, 1GB of RAM with 120GB hard disk space. It runs flawlessly. May be you already know, Windows 7 Ultimate Edition brings you fancy 3D effects user interface. A Dual Core or Quad Core CPU definately can boost up the performance to run those hard-core applications.

RAM

In previous Windows Vista, 1GB RAM is the minimum requirement to install it. When you install more programs in Windows Vista, the system become unstable and slow down heavily. RAM is also a critical component in order to run Windows 7 smootly. I use 3GB RAM and probably 4GB t get the most optimal performance.

Hard Disk Space

The minium hard disk space requirement is 8GB. Probably 15GB space left is the ideal enviroment for swap file. I use 50GB for the Windows 7 system partition. It is the best for me to install most common applications inside it. For example : Microsoft Office, Photoshop, ACDSee, Windows Live, etc...
