just ordered 550 watt power supply as hp only furnished 300 and new card needs 400 watts which could be reason win 7 is so slow?
also looking into new board and chip for older hp tower Pavilion a1130n series - do you think i may upgrade to a p55 board and i5-750 chip in the old tower?

Windows 7 should run fine on the HD 4670. Must be that your PSU is failing to provide the required power to the card. Get the new power supply and see how it goes. Continuing to run the card on the 300W PSU may damage it permanently.

If you're intending to make a complete upgrade please give us a budget.
