Flyby Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 good to hear that, Mustang. I guess I can sell my copy of Win-ME and use the spare change to finance Win7. :D Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawndartleo Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Win7 Professional ($30 + $13 for DVD for full version because of school and it is NOT a limted student version). Love it. Upgraded (clean install) from XP to W7 and haven't looked back. If you are a student and you can qualify for the discount from Digital River, go for it. Intel Q9550 (3.5GHz), Zotac GTX 275 AMP!

Kuky Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) I recently got Windows 7 64bit Home Premium (previsouly was on XP Pro) and I see it as improvement in just about anything (need workaround for enabling v-sync only - ATI card here) Edited November 28, 2009 by Kuky No longer active in DCS...

IvanK Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Win 7 Home Premium 64 Bit. Did a Dual boot on a clean drive so Win7 on one and Vista 64 the previous oS on the other. FC works just fine though I needed Alchemy for the sound fix (Creative card). Reference V synch I set it in nvidia control panel to be permanently on . I don't see any tearing with rapid panning movement in FC so I figure its working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyby Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Kuky and Ivan, Thank you for your inputs. It's increasingly clear that life with Win7 (64bit) is a step up, but that it offers some of the usual challenges that come with a new OS (like Kuky's ATi/v-sinc work-around issue. Kuky, can you give a bit more detail about this issue, and solution? Maybe someone else has information beneficial to this problem? I'd be starting from scratch with my new gaming rig, including a new GPU, mobo and OS. Win7 just seems the obvious selection. Thanks to you guys again for sharing.:thumbup: Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next month I'm in for a double hip replacement (Dec23, then Jan 8th ) ought to be a piece of cake, then I'll be able to dance on my rudder pedals again. ;) meanwhile I'm still driving a stick!!

GaryIKILLYOU Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 My last version of windows (a long story) is Win-XP upgrade. I actually upgraded from WinME.:D It was a gaming 32bit system running a P4-2.8c, and a 6800 Ultra. Now I own an i7-920 (just the processor so far). I'm thinking, and someone critique me here, of going with Win7HP-64 bit. But I wonder if I'd be well served to buy an OEM version if I'm only going to game with the system? I know the HP version is limited to 16gb of system ram. I figure it will be a while before I actually need more ram than that. Also I'm looking at the ASRock X58 Extreme as a mobo, and it has the capacity to handle 24gtb of system ram were I ever to need it (but that means upgrading to some other Win7 version) which is OK by me. The OEM would save me a few bucks, but I'd be somewhat hindered in not being able to use it on more than one system (not a problem at the moment). Advice? SPare change? Flyby out Go for it I have the same version and loves it! Win7 HP 64bit FTW! (And I've hated all the previous Windows versions at first, even XP. But not this one I love it with a passion... well maybe not that much but you get the idea.)

Guest last_hopes Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Did you move to Win7 Report in please As i said a few monts ago I got the M-audio Xponent. Unfortunately it is not very suitable for Resolume. You can scratch videos with the jogs but it is very big and not very comfortable to use for VJ purpose. I am keeping the M-Audio X-Session Pro for and the Xponent is for DJing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfenstein Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Win7 64 ultimate here (the ultimate, because i will work from home occasionally, and the extra XP-License for VirtualPC, where all the work stuff will be installed, seemed a good bonus to me), otherwise the home premium would have been 'enough'. apart from a few old games not installable (probably requiring more effort than just starting in compability mode) i am quite happy with it. Together with the new core i7-920 DCS:BS works like a charm now (only replayed some of the demo-tracks), even though i kept the old graphics (ATI 4850). My old X2 4200+ had troubles working 1680x1050, and now 2560x1600 looks fine:thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyby Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 sounds good to me, Wolfenstein. ;) I trust some of those older games will gain your favor one day, and that you'll go through the absolute living hell required to get them running on Wini7. :D Flyby out btw, thanks for posting your results. good to see DCS:BS doing well on your ri.g The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
