What is a better OS for gaming Vista 32 or Vista 64?
What is a better OS for gaming, Windows Vista 32 or Windows Vista 64 Ultimate edition?
I heard that Windows 7 isn't much better than any of the Vista editions.
My favorite system for gaming overall is XP, hands down. I have tried both Vista and Windows 7 and am impressed with neither version. Windows 7 is considerably better than Vista, and there are some advantages over XP. However, those advantages pale in comparison with the disadvantages: high cost, user-unfriendly attitude and abusive EULA.
Between Vista 32 and Vista 64, the information I get from friends and techs is: "It doesn't matter, both are pretty lousy." So my opinion is go with the 32 for the greater software compatibility. Just be aware that with Vista, many, many XP compatible games simply will not work.
In my opinion and the opinion of most of my tech friends: if you're an XP user, don't upgrade. If you're a Vista user, upgrade to Windows 7 if you must, but don't expect it to live up to corporate hype.
Windows 7 has some serious problems, both in the fact that the Professional version is very, very home unfriendly, but the Home version doesn't have all the things that many home users will need. I think Micro$oft shot themselves in the foot on Windows 7 in more ways than one, and have done nothing more than make the statement that "We're so out of touch with our customers it's sad."
