Fair enough

Uh-oh, about to do some benchin?

lol. no. Was just checking on my torrents on my Mac and getting a web interface up and running for my torrent client. Mac is pretty much used for torrenting, light browsing, and as a file server. It's too slow for me to want to run constantly. (G5 1.6GHz lol) I've been far too spoiled by my quad core. lol.

ShadowFold · Oct 24, 2008

I have Vista Ultimate x86 on my main, Vista Basic x86 on my HTPC, XP Home on my moms rig and XP Pro x64 on my server.

Urbklr · Oct 24, 2008

Windows XP SP3 right now, works better with my Tascam, Integrated and Sonar 7. I tried to dual-boot OS X with XP, but my ICH10R isn't yet fully supported I don't think.

Grimskull · Oct 24, 2008

XP Pro SP2 on main rig

New rig will be XP Pro SP2 (32bit) and Vista Ultimate (32bit) on dual boot.

ShadowFold · Oct 24, 2008

Unless you are getting Ultimate for free its not worth it. Just get Basic.. Home Premium if you like the aero crap but I have ultimate and never use the aero.

beyond_amusia · Oct 24, 2008

Vista Ultimate x64! ^_^ I will say that on a PC made this side of 2004 should support x64 just fine, assuming the CPU is x64, and people should just take the leap. It's really quite painless (minus some printers and stuff) unless you MUST use 16 bit programs, but that's what Virtual PC is for, isn't it?

Fitseries3 · Oct 24, 2008

can i get another option?

Windows 7 MS3 here.

oli_ramsay · Oct 24, 2008

I'm using Vista x64 Ultimate w/ SP1.

Deleted member 24505 · Oct 24, 2008

Vista x86 home premium here.

Does aero use that much resources? i think it makes vista look better.

Wozzer · Oct 24, 2008

XP - All the way

next to nothing. Most of my low end systems actually ran better with aero on, than off (the OS was more responsive when dragging windows around, as the video card did it not the CPU)

Urbklr · Oct 25, 2008

There, so far I've got Tiger and XP dual-booted, Leopard soon.

zithe · Oct 25, 2008

Linux.

DonInKansas · Oct 25, 2008

Vista Ultimate 64 ftmfw.

95Viper · Oct 25, 2008

Vista Home prem x86 sp2 build 6002 (downstairs) and XP pro sp3 (upstairs)

v-zero · Oct 25, 2008

Right now? OS X on an MBP.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 25, 2008

Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition
XP Professional x64 Edition
XP Professional
Vista Home Premium x86

By the way, x64 is abbreviated for x86-64. IA-64 is the closest to true x64 architecture by Intel.

Black Panther · Oct 25, 2008

Right now it's Vista x64 because I'm on the lappie.

On desktop I have XP x86.

Oh... and I got one of my junkie computers working... on Win98...
