Sometimes Vista is not compatible for other games or applications... as compared to Windows 7 has many applications and compatibilities

If all you want to do is play games or surf the net, then don't waste your hard-earned money on the ultimate edition -- the Home Premium edition works great for those. You can't buy Vista any more so the argument between Vista and Windows 7 is now mute.

There is nothing wrong with his sig links, and his post was relevent to this thread. So I don't understand your beef with his post.

There's no difference for gaming, the difference between Home Premium and Ultimate is in extra features that wont effect gaming.

Windows 7 is better for gaming (in my opinion) because it has all the modern benefits (DX10, and being the current platform designers code for) but the XP mode allows you to play legacy games that weren't viable on Vista.

I didn't mean to imply it was, Windows 7 has XP mode (in some versions) and Vista doesn't, That's one the things that makes 7 a better gaming operating system for me.

didn't say you did,didn't mean to tag your post just a habit sorry
was just posting/adding some info,
like this xp mode also need a up to date cpu to run ,i have win7 ultimate on a P4 2.8 socket 478 but it will not run xp mode but its doesn't have hardware assisted virtualization

Member Avatar for OlyComputers

XP mode shouldn't need hardware virtualization, but a little more muscle than that would probably help. I have an older dual core "Athlon x2 4200+" with 4GB of ram and didn't have any problems with the little bit I've used XP mode, despite the lack of virtualization support.

did you downlaod winxp mode ,also #2 is tool i ran to run to check http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

Member Avatar for OlyComputers

I installed it after my last reinstall, but never really played with it much. You should technically meet the requirements but with virtualization "minimum requirements" are going to give pretty poor performance.
