Depends on how much RAM and what kind of processor the computer you're using will have.
If you have 4 gigs of RAM with a 2.6GHz dual core or better, go for Vista. Otherwise, go for W7. |

I don't think I can stomach having 1GB of data on one drive.

My Current Core i7 will be taken to my brothers place in a few weeks.
So I'll be left with an old Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4GHz 2GB DDR2 RAM 350W PSU and a Geforce 6600 so Im pimping it up.. I'll buy: XFX GeForce GTX 285 1GB 512BITS 620W Modular Extra Silent PSU by Cooler Master Corsair XMS2 2GB DDR2 RAM (I'll be buying 4GB of it so I'll have 6GB) Seagate 1TB 3.5 HDD A4 Tech HD 800 A4 Tech PK-130MG Webcam and maybe throw in some more cash and buy a Creative 7.1 Sound Blaster Audigy Value and srsly, should I really install Windows 7 RC as my primary OS? Wont I have problems in March 2010? QUOTE(jcp @ May 6 2009, 06:56 AM) Like cj siad, it depends. But i'd say 7 cause its lighter. If it were me i would use xp.

yo 9001
since Im building up an Otaku PC, why not cut down a few things and get more Otaku-ish stuff? XFX Geforce GTX 260 Black Edition 896MB Seagate 1TB Barracuda Corsair 520W Modular PSU SLI Ready Creative 7.1 Sound Blaster Xtreme Gamer A4 Tech PK-130MG (I tried for Logitech's 9000! ITS NOT AVAILABLE! D;) Razer Barracuda HP-1 =D Corsair XMS2 2GB/800 DDR2 RAM (3 of them, so I'll have 8GB total) as You see.. Im greedy when its RAM.. and im also greedy for GDDR3, its a shame that nVidia will take some time till it can released GDDR5 Geforce 300 Series. I'm a ATI Hater :) --------- srsly, Vista Ultimate is always recommended by many companies for gaming. Soon Windows 7 will replace Vista Ultimate, making it the most recommended OS for gaming. |

Home = You are limited to some stuff.
Ultimate = You can use all the features of Vista, that means you can watch more porn! |

Dood just go to microsoft's website and it'll read specifically what things are missing in Home. The only thing off the top of my head that I know, is that Home doesn't have the capability to setup a server on it...

The Barracuda 1TB is nice.I got a 4TBs of storage at home running in raid-1 (so I got 8 drives).
With Vista, I would go for Business or Above, anything below is useless if it cheaper. Or just stick with XP. |

XFX GTX 285 ran out of stock.
I'll try the eVGA GTX 285.. Yo CJ, how would a Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0GHz with a 12mb Cache go against a Core i7 920 2.66GHz? |

The i7 beats it. Not by much though.
i7 usually overclocks better too. |
