September 9, 200916 yr Dear Simmers,My time has come to format my PC, but I'm really confused which OS siutes me best.My Specs are Intel Core2Quad , BFG 8800 GTX OC (768 MB) , WD 150 GB HD, 4GB ram.Currently I'm still using Fs9 ( I don't intend to use fsx for the time being) running under XP 32 bit,but this time I definately really want to make out the best out of my PC :) .I read some posts that XP 64 is stable..but what about Windows 7 ? And again If I use XP 64 I won't be able to make use of DX 10 :( I look forward for your Professional Advices :)Regards,Cpt.ZammitA320 Driver
September 9, 200916 yr I think your best bet would be to get windows 7 when that comes out..i believe you have about a month left. If you still have your old windows disk id say just install that for now again or hold off on the format, cause I'd recommend a new format to get windows 7 installed when it comes out. (There is no upgrade from XP to 7, yet there is one for vista to 7) - Red E8500 @ 4.1 | EVGA 275GTX (overclocked) | 2x2GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline @ 1066 | Samsung 24inch LCD @ 1920x1080 |
September 9, 200916 yr I'm also waiting for Windows 7 before I replace my aging computer (Athlon 64 X2 4800+, 8800GT, 4GB RAM, XP 32bit). Thought about going to XP 64, but decided to go to Windows 7 sooner rather than later. Have to reformat the disk for either anyway so I you might as well go for Windows 7.
