I need some OS advice.

Hi all,

Im happily running XP on my laptop and desk top without issue but im starting to think that i may need to get a new desktop soon.

The old thing is approaching 4 years old.

So ive been looking at what OS to put on it, i was nicely surprised to see that OCUKs builds have the option of comming with XP but should i move on to Vista or even get ready for 7?

Ive just noticed Direct X 11, and that still is only for Vista. Is there any need to upgrade to 10 or 11 for new games, im a bit out of the loop on this.

Basicaly, is DX9 now a dinosaur and when i get a new desktop get Vista/7 to utilise DX10/11

Thanks in advance
Zero.

Ah only 2 weeks, will take me longer than that to save up

So were expecting 7 to be good then? Not another ME or Vista?
