hi tanmoytanu
your board does support windows 7 ,
you should update your bios to to the latest version before installing windows
are you planning on installing windows 7 32bit or 64bit ?

 

[tanmoytanu]

Yes i wish to setup win 7. Now is their any option ?

 

[mickypheonix]

what do you mean is there any option ?

 

[tanmoytanu]

You told me that my board does not support windows 7 & i should update BIOS. If i update then will it take effect on speed ?

 

[mickypheonix]

no however this will provide the latest support for your bios for windows 7

 

[mickypheonix]

the reason i asked if you were installing 32 or 64 bit is because with 32 bit you can only use up to 3.4gb of ram and you are only using 2gb anyway
if you use a 64 bit operating system it will recognize all the ram you have installed so if you are planning to add more memory say another 2gb then 64bit would be a better option

you should be able to run windows 7 and it should run fine
