| [OT] please help: Windows Vista verions ?! |
 |
|
Hello
At the begining I apologise for offtopic.
I can buy legal version of Windows Vista for a very cheap price, and I need to make a decision very fast.
As we all know there are couple Windows Vista versions.
There is: Ultimate Version which is the most expensive product, Home Premium, Home Basic, Business and Enterprise.
I will write in short what for I use my computer.
Mostly entertainment: playing games, watching movies, online TVs, browsing the net, music listening.
My computers configuration is:
Processor: Core 2 Duo 6600 - not yet overclocked, but I will try later (by the way: which cooler would you recommend ? no water-cooling !)
Ram: 2x OCZ 1GB 800Mhz
Graphics card: Asus GeForce 8800 GTX (unfortunately just one, not SLI)
Motherboard: Asus P5W DH Deluxe (by the way: on the box there is ATI Crossfire technology logo, but is it possible to plug into this motherboard to Nvidia Cards for SLI system ? Or maybe its possible to two video cards only from ATI? )
Harddrives: 2x Seagate 250GB 7200.10 16MB Cache
Monitor: Dell 2405FPW
Please help me!
Best regards,
Tom Bobek

Forget Vista, stick with XP.
Vista contains code to prevent you from using your machine.

Wow that's a nice machine...I'm jealous  Basically I'm just gonna agree with Euler, stick with XP. If you absolutely NEED Vista (which you don't) spring for either the Premium or Ultimate Editions. Alternatively, you could always acquire it from the piratebay...you still get the same shitty Vista, but at least you get to test drive the crapware before you drop a house payment on it.
Btw, your games will hate you if you upgrade.
