I'm getting ready to put a new hard drive in my computer and since I've had XP on running on this for some time I was going to do a clean install when I do it.
The thing is I have an unused key for W7RC and I am trying to figure out which would be the best option for me considering my hardware isn't the best.
The stuff that matters:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+(in the middle of OC'ing it at the moment- running at 2.25GHz)
1GB of DDR Ram CorsairVS
ATI Radeon X800 128MB
I would like to try the 64bit version of Windows 7 but I hear than it uses more RAM and I'm worried that my 1GB won't be enough.
My other concern is that my computer right now seems pretty slow. So would I be better off just sticking with Windows XP or would Windows 7 give me about the same performance in apps that I'm getting now?
I appreciate your guys input.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
