Just a quick question about Vista

[ddbtkd456]

What operating systems can I put on this system? I kind of want Vista on it instead of 7, wise or no? Space isn't a problem and I like Vista's interference better.

Windows 7 Pro is superior as far as security features are concerned. Besides, I don't know from where you can buy a Vista license.

Vista was a mistake by MICROSOFT..
Never install vista. It doesn't universally supports 3rd party and many other problems.
Win 7 is the best option over vista and win 8... You have full driver support, full Diagnose support, windows own security and many other features !

You can on amazon. Either way I just want to know if it will run it. I dont care about the pros or cons, its only a personal perference, I am actually going to run both Vista and 7 on my machine, but with solid state drives, I have no idea if Vista will run them, or run the AMD FX-8350 or the Sabertooth Motherboard, or USB 3.0

yes vista and 7 will run perfectly fine the min specs for vista is a 1ghz cpu and 1gb of ram. Windows 7 is 1ghz processor with at least 2gb of ram. keep in mind you will want at least 16-20gb of free hard drive space for windows 7 and vista.

Thank you for the best answer, I was afraid that was going to turn into an argument on weather or not you should run Windows Vista instead of Windows 7, the only thing I like better about Windows Vista is that some of the older games run better on it, as well as the Windows Media Player 11.

hey its our pleasure to tell you about the cons of vista, but in the end its all about preference, if thats what you prefer than thats totally fine. Cheers
