    I can't even find the 707 as an F series model on the Sony website.

    I did find a PCG-707 model that originally came with Win95, so thatS' not looking too good for an upgrade to WinXP.

    Have you thought about Win2000 instead?

    If you can run Win98, Win2000 shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

    So other than not knowing what 'Bonzai Buddy' is {its full of spyware ! that's what it is - so if it pops up don't be pressing yes - its malware !}, the question seems answered ... so I'll just waffle for a bit about the quote above ..

    Err umm its all to do with acpi & allocation of resources & what can or can't share with what ..

    Any 9x system uses the MS specification table as a 'supplementary' method of doing this arbitration, that's a table 9x uses (maintained by windows itself) in addition to the DMI pool maintained by bios routines .. any NT based system has never heard of the MS specification table & either directly accesses hardware like w2k & xp or like NT does, bios ...

    So even though the hardware requirements in terms of memory & cpu etc aren't so much different you can't say for sure it'll 'go' without either trying it or running a tool like this ..
