hi
im buying the parts 2 build my new system and cannot decide which OS to buy
here r the specs on my comp
CPU: Intel E8400
Mobo: eVGA nForce 680i
RAM: 4gb Kit (2x2gb) Crucial Ballistix
HD: 2 x 320gb Western Digital
Graphics Card: 2xGigabyte GeForce 9600gt (SLi)
Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
i know 32 bit OS's can only see about 3.25gb of the RAM, but since i'm running 2 graphics cards, about 500mb of the remaining memory is going 2 dedicated to them, making the loss minimal.
So, my question is: Is it worth going to the 64 bit version of windows to get the slight performance boost? and once ive decided on 32 or 64 bit, should i go for xp or vista?
thanks in advance for everyones help
