Which Vista should I get

Born_2_Kill_83 · 31 Dec 2006 at 14:17

I'm currently running XP Pro but all the different versions of Vista are confusing me. Which would be best for a gaming system and do I need 32-Bit or 64-Bit?

Heres my stuff:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Asus P5B Deluxe
Asus 8800GTX 768MB
OCZ 2GB PC6400
OCZ Gamexstream 600W

Cheers :cool:

Vista Home Premium will be the standard gaming platform or ultimate if you wont any of *** following.

Offline Files/Folders
IIS Web Server
Fax and Scan

X64 is the future I see no reason to stay with 32bit.

But vista is no good for gaming yet, due to driver support. But by the time it's released we can hope nvidia have some decent drivers out.

And fortunately, you get both.

Add Remote Desktop to the differences too - you can't connect to a Home Premium system.

It says there's a limited remote desktop,

Which means no incoming connections.

You cannot use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to computers running Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Basic N, or Windows Vista Home Premium, and you can only create outgoing connections from those editions of Windows Vista.

The Premium should be the one to get. This is the one i am aiming for.
