I used to but found vista 64 way too slow and the video drivers sucked, so now use windows 7 64 and its so much better. |

COMPLETLY typed that in wrong, I meant XP 32 and Windows 7 or any other configuration.  Thinking of dual booting my current XP and putting Windows 7 on another Partition. |

Won't be a problem at all  If you have vm hardware support on your CPU you can download and run the XP virtual machine within 7...

running vista 32 and 7 64bit, get a few crashes, but only when I'm loading games, so I've got a feeling it's my current drivers (too lazy to try some others) or its something to do with SLI. Apart from that I'm mucho impressed! |

You can get the windows 7 iso both 32 and 64 bit easily enough if you google it. microsoft stopped hosting it but other sites still have it including torrent sites as its a legal download. just make sure you get the RC version which is the latest. I recommend 64bit. you will need a cd key which you can get from microsoft here. hxxxp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windo ... nload.aspx The RC version is valid till june 2010 |

just got me hands on the RTM 64bit, will install later on, hopefully it's as simply as upgrading my 7100 build, but I doubt it. |

Doesn't upgrade from XP - clean install required. A colleague upgraded Vista home premium to 7 Ultimate, taking 3 hours

Just backup everything you need to and reinstall. I changed from Windows XP x86 to Windows 7 x86 and I must say it is a very nice OS. I tried Vista before but that was just a major pain in the arse. Did try W7 x64 but had some weird problems when I wrote files to my Samba share on my Linux server. W7 crashed straight away or rather froze. Only thing I could do was restart. So after trying a reinstall of W7 x64 and having the same thing I went for x86 edition. I won't miss the 800 MB of my 4 GB memory I reckon I especially like the new and improved taskbar/systray in W7. |
