Windows 7 Vs. Windows 7 Enterprise

 

 - Benefits for a small (UK) charity with three offices?

 - Performance with a single core and 1GB main memory? (Asus EeeBox EB1007)

 

 

 

=====================================

 

I'm aware Enterprise Windows has its benefits for a company with a network spanning more than one site - If Ent and Pro come in at the same price, choose Ent right?

 

but the PCs I'm refreshing are Asus EB1007 with single core & 1GB RAM. Ent says it's more resource hungry than Pro and *requires* 2GB. Is that effectively true?

 

Now I realise the Windows 7 versions available are upgrade only - I despise the idea and besides, we're on XP so it *shouldn't* work anyway. Is upgrade-only REALLY upgrade only? I've never though to look that far into it.

 

(OFC 10 is now in sight and I'm sure MS will donate a few of those through TechSoup / TT-Exchange too... People will say wait for that. I vote 8 BTW but staff say please no...)

 

Thanks in advance

I am confused. Windows 7 Enterprise, you need to have Windows Server running and they need to be on the domain for activation of license.
