Hey guys, well I was part of Vista Rc1 beta with one of my friends key, he was given a license for up to 8 pc's to install it on at that time, time went by and vista was released eventually the beta keys were shut down, I been using a modified copy of xp and decided it was time to get a good copy of windows.
Move ahead and I ordered XP pro sp2 OEM and Vista 32bit OEM.
My PC is a E6600 core2duo, 8800gtx, x-fi plat, 2gb ram.
I got vista mostly because some things that worked on the beta did not want to work on xp copy I have, it's a program my mom uses I tried everything to get around that problem so I got to the point where getting Vista should solve the problem since that program did work in the beta copy.
I do a lot of gaming and I was wondering if I made a good choice going 32bit over 64bit OEM, I mostly went with 32bit because I know it will work whereas 64bit is uncharted territory for me. I am wondering about the gaming since I am not sure if more games will start taking advantage of 64bit processing over 32bit. This leaves me to several thing, if the good copy of XP fixes problem I can keep 32bit vista, change it for 64bit or return it, so what do you guys think?
