which version of w7 should i get>

[adamknox]

i was originaly going to get w7 64bit (i have 4gb) pro but now im not so sure if pro is worth it.

ill be using it mostly for gaming and Internet (so i do want it nice and fast). Ill also be using programs like WORD and on very very VERY rare occasions light video editing and photoshop.

Would pro be the best option? The main reason i wanted pro was for the XP mode. While i do play the od old game ive heard that even older games work just as well on w7. All my hardware is new and has windows 7 drivers etc.So..pro or home? thanks

p.s i dont really have a network/no intrest is having a network with shared files.

OEM is not cost effective.
Once it is installed on your machine the license says you cannot move it to another machine.
So if you upgrade your machine in the future (replace the motherboard) then you will have to buy a new copy of the OS.

Retail is £8 more expensive!

Better off getting the retail, where you get the 32bit and 64bit, only for a few pounds extra.
