The Intel D946gzis motherboard doesn't determine the compatibility of Windows 7 Operating System. There are certain system requirements needed for you to rund Windows 7 OS. I have search from Microsoft website and present to you below the minimum system requirements for Windows 7 Operating System.

1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

You need to meet those requirements before you can install your Windows 7.
