Opinions Please....

I sit here pondering weather to install XP 64 Bit or Vista 32 Bit Ulitmate on my machine with the intention of uing it without change for at lease one year.

What is your honest opinion?

I want to game a little (Steam based mostly) and of course browse the web alot.

What to do, What to do?

I face a similar dilemma to you, do I stay with XP or do I move to vista. I'm more inclined to stick with XP since I have no problems with it and don't really have any need to upgrade.

I was hoping for a more rapid response.

I have XP32 Retail, I have XP64 that will void my XP32 COA if I install it and I have Vista Ulitmate 32bit. Those are my only options and an itchy format finger.

Thanks for the reply, Perhaps it will prompt more.

Vista has its good and bad, if you want vista i would wait until SP1 comes out. I use vista everyday for home use and work and i dont have much problems with it. Now and then i do because of software that isnt working right. X64 isnt really need unless you have 4gb+ and have a ton of x64 programs and games to take the full effect of it.

Go with the XP32...

Just my opinion of course..
( I have XP32 and Vista ulitmate on this machine and haven't booted into Vista in over a month now..)

Either xp 32 or vista 32.

Vista 32 it is then. As long as it holds out 12 months I'm good.

Thanks everyone.
