"So I tried it out, and it works fine. I didn't need to get any drivers.

My Windows Experience is rated as 1.0 for graphics which may mean that the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter reported in Device Manager could be improved on (...?) but things are working well for my modest needs."

"Use CPU-Z, look for 64-bit instruction set:

CPU-Z is a freeware that gathers information on some of the main
devices of your system."

"You need to download the latest Windows 7 x64 drivers for Geforce 8x00m GS/GT (depending on which 1700 you have) and then your graphics score should definitely improve! Getting 5.8 for graphics on Vostro 1700 with 8600m GT video. Get them from www.nvidia.com

Regarding the processor... the T7250 is standard but optional is anything between that and T7700."

I have a Vostro 1700 and I am running Win 7 64-bit. Most if not all programs seem to work fine. Video drivers downloaded directly from nvidia.com.
