Win7 Home premium 64bit

first of, i'm ot usre if its the right forum ;)

I was wondering is that a good OS for gaming, or should i get Win7 ultimate?

because to my knowledge ultimate is good for servers, multimedia etc. am i right?

I only do lots of high def gaming and hi-def video playback.

thx in advance :)

premium is more than enough for gaming and multimadia use that isnt like extreme stuff. however ultimate edition will help you out noticably in the multimedia department. in the end though id still say save the money.

most work fine but nothing really worth discussing pre 2001 but anyhting thta old either can sue dos-box or is in desperate need of replacing anyway

Most programs - if not all - work perfectly fine in Windows 7 if they work in Windows Vista. When I was still running an early BETA of Windows 7 I never experienced issues regarding programs, I used the same programs that I used on my Windows Vista computer.

I must say that Windows 7 feels a lot snappier, programs open faster and it barely loads randomly.

[QUOTE="CellAnimation"]Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate is nothing more than a pre-configured Virtual PC application. It is not for gaming. I'm not sure why you would think Ultimate would have more multimedia functionality, both Professional and Ultimate are actually more usde to business than anything else. They include domain support, etc.StraiN-ShifTeD

use Virtual Box instead. It has 2d and 3d acceleration support built in. You won't have that same issue.

home prem is fine, just it limits ram to 16gb if you care and has no automatic backup options. apart from that you wont notice any difference. home prem has all the multimedia option of ultimate just it lacks some of the networking and backup which your average home user will never touch. I'd go for pro as it's not much more and has just about everything ultimate has. imprezawrx500
