Run windows 7 ultimate on Dimension E520 ?

Can it be done ?

I just purchased a E520 tower from Re-PC that was running XP HOME , took it home and put my hard drive from my failed 5150 in . Fired right up so reformatted

the 80 gig drive for backup and thought all was well . The 120 gig drive from the 5150 was running win 7 ultimate , shortly after I found that there was no audio output device working , no troubleshooters or web sites that I found would work .....

Now it looks like win 7 isn't compatible with the E520 motherboard ? I thought I might be able to back track and use virtual XP software but can't seem to get it to work . Then tried to downgrade to the XP home via re install cd but looks like I'll have to wipe 7 off first ?

Kind of a novice here so any helpful input will be much appreciated .
