I was considering getting windows 7 and never really imagined having any issues running it on my comp. These are my specs. -
x6800 dual core running at stock
2x1 gb C4 6400 corsair ram
900W tagan psu
2 x 8800 EVGA GTX
EVGA 780i *** edition
Win XP 32 bit
I never thought it would be an issue but then according to the MS website, if I want to run the 64 bit I need min. 2 gb ram and then an additional 1 gb if I need XP compatibility.
Is that an overestimation on their part or do I really need that? I know the 2 gb meets the min. but I don't really wanna run anything on low. Currently on XP I can run whatever I need to (games wise) on the highest settings. Would running windows 7 and games on it be an issue with my specs?
