Hi people. Given my systems specs, which O.S. should I upgrade to ? I have two HDD & will be keeping XP on one and was thinking of getting W7 for the other however I ran the W7 upgrade checker & found that some of my hardware & programs wont or may/may not work with 7!?
Im thinking vista will be the safer cheaper & less fuss option?
- With my specs will running vista/W7 free up RAM etc.. and allow my pc to run faster or will vista/W7 hog more resources ?
- Will running vista & dX10/ 7 dx11 with my system actually provide a real jump in performance in gaming?
- Can anyone confirm that W7 is much better than vista?
Im basically wanting the o.s. thats going to get the most out of my current hardware and vica versa!
