I'm running on a P4 with 4GB Ram and a six year old machine upgraded to Win7 and I get a fantastic frame rate. I have an older ATI X600 video card if that makes a difference.
Jim, couldn't you download VMware or VirtualBox and run a copy of Win 7 within a virtual machine on your XP machine? It may not be as true a test of Win 7 as installing it as a main OS on your machine, but it's one way to easily test the OS and then toss it out without having to modify your system.
