What are the specs on your desktop?
Given what I see here:

... and just the picture that dells me the 'time frame' it falls in by
design of the case...

I would not recommend Windows 7 on that computer. Even if you have 4GB
memory - I don't think you will like the performance in comparison to a good
and clean Windows XP installation.
Generally - unless you have Core2Duo, 2GB+ memory and 128+MB video memory
(not shared) - I wouldn't suggest Windows 7 as an upgrade option on an older
computer.
Dell only provides drivers for that system for Windows XP:

nVidia only shows drivers for Windows XP and prior for that old of a
chipset.

(GeForce, GeForce 4 MX Series...)
My suggestion is a resounding, "Do NOT upgrade to Windows 7 on that machine.
Find some refurbished Core2Duo Intel system for a few hundred dollars that
comes with Windows 7 Home Premium or something."
