Operating System?

[ridid44]

Hey,

New to building and not used to actually picking out a operating system. What specifically do I need. I would like XP. If someone could post a link from newegg.com that would be great.

Well what are you going to be doing? That can help us determine what OS best suits you.

If you are gaming you're going to need vista at least... but windows 7 is better so maybe get vista with a windows 7 upgrade ticket.

I am gaming but newegg does not sell, or at least not to my knowledge, Vista.
And, my video card only supports vista and XP

if your card supports vista it will support win7

Yeah, checked like a few weeks after Win7 came out and they already got rid of it.

Vista sucks anyhow...who cares.

Well, it used to be cheaper than Win7 at like $90.00, and a lot came w/ a 7 upgrade coupon.

Windows Vista Looks + Windows XP Speed = Windows 7.

This is true..Win7 is a ripoff as far as price goes..but this is why I say go the OEM system builders pack. cheaper and you can use it multiple times with a simple 5 minute phone call!

I liked the Vista Aero for the explorer bar better, though.
