Redbeaver Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 lots of difference between the 2. but if ur friend doing mostly gaming, ill stick with Home Premium ultimate got a few more bells n whistles on the administration end... a few on security features, a few server applications like IIS and FTP, and Media Center n stuff... RDP... lots... gaming n doing home stuff? Home Premium is it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joek71 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 For now man stick with the 32 bit system, not a lot of games are made for 64 bit system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k€lticknight Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 so better off staying with xp then as its 32 bit only reason for moving to vista was 64 bit might consider the OEM version of vista ulimate,with poor support in drivers for it,no rush Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joek71 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 If you are a big games then stick with xp 32 bit, but i think you can play most games on Vista x64, it is backward compatible. I noticed when i installed Vista Ultimate x64 that it has 2 directories one is x86=32bit and a 64 bit directory. The gaming industry has not yet utilized the full potential of x64 systems, but they are coming. Ask around in different gaming forums if you can play your games on a Vista Ultimate X64, i think you can. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLI support for Nvidia Geforce6/7 series driver is available!: 32bit - http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_101.41.html 64bit - http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_101.41.html 2. Windows DVD maker altho super simple and great menu builder doesnt work anymore... crashed every now n then plus any video longer than 120min will get encoded but wont get burned.just an error at the end of the x hour decoding... plus theres no quality control to adjust the video length to fit the DVD. it defaulted to 150min, while most DVDs are 120min.. so that sux...
