You could give it a try, but on my experience on older machines and newer OSs, if you want to run W7 run it with high performance configuration option, meaning without graphics effects like transparences, shadows, soft edges, etc. so the processor will have less effort. With the "classic windows view" (like win98) sould work fine.
