Still contemplating going to windows 7. I was looking at on the drivers site for my motherboard. When I select Windows 7 64 bit as my OS it shows no Chipset drivers. That means I can't use WIn 7, right? Here's the page:…
Just wondering how people are finding Windows 7. I use XP at the moment and am thinking of upgrading. I'm a 3D artist and use the PC mainly for Photoshop and 3D programs like Maya. I also use the Unreal Editor on it. If it doesn't run Maya as well as XP does then I won't go to windows 7. I also use it for watching videos…
I'd say go for it. A long time user of XP, I never made the jump to vista. But alot of stuff in XP is totally retarded and backwards, 7 really makes more sense and more userfriendly.
Transferring all of my files to my external drive in preparation for the jump from Vista x86 to 7 x64! :) Nuking files sucks, but I needed to reformat anyway... In reference to the thread, there's no reason not to upgrade, besides needing money for the thing.
running windows 7 64bit professional on my core 2 duo laptop and it flies! There's a little problem with doing unreal3 with dual monitors, occasionally the generic browser goes wacky, but everything else loads quick and works great. RIP vista
Running win7 here, upgraded from vista 64x. All i can say is "HOLY SHIT". 7 with aero enabled and no tweaks runs MUCH smoother than vista with aero turned OFF and every possible performance tweak in use. Core2 duo @ 2.6 ghz 5 gig ram nvidia gts250
Xp pro 64bit with interface in windows 2000 mode fanboy here. If i wanted flashy seetrough windows windows id buy a mac. Heck my windows only show up as outlines when i move them! Theyre selling 7 for 35€ if your a student here but its only 32bits home so its not really of use to me.
I've been considering making the switch from XP to Windows 7 recently, but from more of a longer-term perspective. I'm as happy with XP as someone can be happy with Windows, and I don't really see any incentive to change other than upgrading for the sake of support. I mean, XP's pretty old now. How much longer will they…
