A GPU (video card) can help with some of the aesthetic aspects of 7, but is not strictly required. So most computers that are 2 or 3 years old should be able to handle Windows 7 easily. As a Windows 7 user, I would highly recommend it, especially since you can get it for 30 bucks as a student.

The general rule is that if you can run vista, you can run Windows 7, and it's also been tested on some netbooks and runs on those as well. So the statement in the article above , although good advice, isn't fully correct. I have a 2 year old laptop and it runs Windows 7 just fine.
