Please help: Want to replace vista with Win 7

My laptop is vista (Sony vaio VGN-NR220E), painfully slow, specs are listed here: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/sony-vaio-vgn-nr220e/4507-3121_7-32876313.html.

I finally decided to install Win 7 to replace vista.  I looked up the requirements. Here are what is recommended for installing Win7:

• 1GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
 (UITS recommends: A dual-core (Core 2) processor)
• 1GB of system memory
 (UITS recommends: 2GB system memory)
• A graphics processor that is DirectX 9-capable with Hardware Pixel Shader v2.0 and WDDM Driver support
• 128MB of graphics memory
 (UITS recommends: 256MB graphics memory; non-integrated video card)
• 40GB of hard drive capacity with 16GB free space
 (UITS recommends: 80-100GB capacity)
• DVD-ROM drive

It seems my laptop has met all the requirements. But I am not very hardware pro. Can some kind experts help me check it out to make sure I can install Win 7 on my laptop? What are some things I need to be careful?

Thanks a million!!

• 首先上网查询该笔记本是否有WIN7驱动程序，包括外围设备（打印机等）。 -TZMAN- ♂ (0 bytes) () 05/02/2011 postreply 17:35:46
