Hey all, I have a question about which OS would be appropriate for my computer. These are the specs:
Intel q6600
Arctic Cooling 7
Asus p5k-e wifi/ap
4x1 GB Corsair XMS DDR2 800
eVGA 8800 GTS g92
DVD/+-RW
OCZ GameXStream 700w psu
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB HDD
This setup is currently running on Vista Business 32bit. It was a free upgrade from a friend so I went with it. My question is this: if I'm primarily going to be gaming and a little cpu overclocking (to 3.0 at the max), as well as school related processes, what is the right OS for me?
Secondly, since this is a new build, I still have a lot of old files on an old 80 GB WD HDD. Along with the files, Windows XP is on there too. If I stick this into my current rig, will it affect it with the 2 OS's on there? Also, if it doesn't, can I just copy everything but my partition for XP over? Thanks all!
