What version of Vista for gaming system

Black Dog · 2 Jun 2007 at 17:26

I'm thinking of getting Vista but there are so many versions.

I mostly play games and go on the net so I'm looking for the best for gaming and not much else.

Could anyone suggest a verison to buy?

Any difference between 32bit & 64bit?

Cheers.

Just get Home Premium, I have ultimate and I'm running the 64bit version, it won't be soon before everyone has 4 Gigs of RAM and will have to use it. I got ultimate because I run a domain and need the ability to join a domain and also have a 360, so I want the stuff that's not included in Business, but is in Home Premium.

Get the 32bit version of Home Premium, does everything you need.
Running it on my pc and gaming is a breeze, that games folder is hilarious

If you have a C2D you have a 64-bit CPU, shame to get a 32-bit O/S . . .

i have x64 and it does everything x86 could do at the same speeds, and it can also run x64 apps (i know there are none yet)

If you are planning on having 4GB of memory anytime in the future then get the 64 Bit edition.
