Hi guys, basically im running XP home Ed at the moment and have been for some time. Im happy with it and all that but im beginning to think that i may aswell ahem......... 'upgrade' to vista.

Ive got 4gigs of ram but XP is unstable with them plugged in so i have reverted to 3. But ive also got a pretty sweet machine and im not getting the DX10 goodness out of it that i should be really.

So, i mainly play games such as COD4, Gears of War, Dawn of War etc and all run maxed - i dont want this to be an issue when i get vista.

Can you guys give some helpful advice as to my next step please? should i go vista or should i stick it out a bit longer? its a pretty big job to switch OP's so i need a little bit of a push in the right direction perhaps!

cheers
 
Personally with the system that you have, yes i would upgrade to Vista. Your system can handle it with ease and i should've thought that the games you're wanting to run will have no problems what so ever with vista :D

Hope this helps.

thanks mate - now then - WHICH vista do i get?lol
 
I would also recommend Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition.

I have the Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my laptop, and it runs flawlessly with a decent CPU & 4GB ram, well worth it!
 
there's no reason why xp should be unstable with 4gb... (as far as i know)

might need to give the ram a few more volts, like +0.1 or 0.2

but yeah, x64 deffo
 
You're not missing out much on DX10 atm tbh. But it's a good time to move to Vista now that the Sp1 is out. 64bit Home Premium is all you need. And if you want the license to be transferable to another PC then get the retail, otherwise OEM is good.
 
HI, I have a laptop that am with Vista 32bit (Home Premium), would I benefit from upgrading to the 64bit version, It has a AMD Turion x2 64 1.8Ghz processor?

Thanks
 
Basically, with the cheap amount that RAM costs these days, if you get the x64 version of Vista it is best to also order the 4gb RAM as well, because if you have any less you may suffer slowdown of some kind. I have got 4gb in my new laptop, and I couldnt be happier with the OS as it just flies along.

I didnt think I would say what im about to, but im happier with Vista x64 than I am with Windows XP Pro :D
