Hey guys,
Thought i'd make a new topic as these might be more likely to get answered here than in a big topic.. I'm thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 from XP SP3. I feel like it's becoming clunky and general desktop speed is starting to feel slow.
I would be getting the 64bit version and also getting another 2gb ram to make 4gb.
My specs are in my sig.. so:
1. Would there definatley be a noticeable speed increase on: desktop, applications (64 bit?) and games?
I bought vista OEM as soon as it was on OCUK when it first came out... I had an AWFUL time with it - especially with games - went back to XP and have been for 2/3 years. The main problem was compatibility so:
2. Would there be problems with drivers and general software that I use every day on XP, itunes, steam, photoshop etc?
3. I've got an X-FI soundcard... are the drivers for it any good? or will I get loss of quality and fidley software like in vista?
Finally, I've got access to the student home premium download edition:
4. Can I install it off my iPhone? I don't think i've got a normal USB flash disk.
Any help would be very much appreciated.. Cheers
