Windows Versions

Gentlemen.

I recently switched to 6GB RAM, and I'm on 32bit windows XP which is limiting it as many of you will know. The version I'm using is TinyXP, which as a very hacked version of XP that makes the install very small comparatively.

I am not very interested in using full bloaty versions of windows as it has many features I don't need, and so I ask are there any good hacked 64bit windows XP versions available? And if not, how about win7? Or shall I just use win7 regardless?

Love you all, hope youre not too hungover, and that the weather is lovely for you all. :)

Edit: You're all dogs. Got to make custom EDID for 120hz.

just install w7
Just use win7 64bit
with 6 gb and supposing u have also a good processor and decent hd,no problem to switch to win 7
I dont think they'll be an issue but I absolutely HATE bloaty OS. Is there any difference between versions? I dont really care about most features because usability > aesthetics for me when it comes to computers.

if you dont care about most features, simply ignore them then :S thats what we all do
Parent
i m not so much of an expert,but from what i read on various forums win 7 is better than xp

I cant get 120hz on my CRT
Parent
if ur CRT supports it, reduce resolution to try to achieve 120hz
Parent
Its to do with the EDID and CRT monitors since windows 7 apparently hates them. I can't be arsed with all the hassle, and just going to switch to 64bitXP that you've given me, is there anything I should know? Are there any tutorials on how to modify an XP edition like you have? I'm interested.
Parent
from the windows user perspective u should be very skilled

I've been mad busy recently, and haven't actually had the time to format! :(

Will be doing it next week instead when i've got a little time, will give you feedback then ;)
Parent
When you go to Windows 7, within 1 week you'll never go back to XP. Just Dual Boot, you've got XP installed first so no problem. Win7 X64, I'm using a version from October 2010. You will notice a decrease in performance in 3D games which are old (such as ET), you get some bad FPS drop compared to XP.

Use Windows 7 for anything other than gaming, I use it as my main OS, I code, Photoshop, video edit etc... but serious gaming if for XP.
Parent
win 7 and 64 bit for you
Windows 7 64 bits.
win 7 64 bit professional version.
win7, no problems so far
