Which is best for me

[Ariunbold]

Hi every one. Im planing to upgrade my os. My current os is xp 32bit. I have choice with windows 7 starter, or homebasic, home premium. Starter is so cheap so i like to buy this. Help me

No, get Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit for $99.99 @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=32-116-986&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=%28keywords%29&Page=1#scrollFullInfo

And u will not be limited by the RAM limit 3GB.

Another vote for HP x64. Does everything you'd need except join a domain which nearly all home users would never need to do. Not sure what it does that starter or basic won't do, but its a good OS.

Here is a list of the differences.

One thing to note is MS removed the 3 program limit. Fast user switching and multi monitor support are probably the biggest things you'll miss if you get starter.

Run the windows 7 upgrade advisor before you buy 7 ^

another +1 for windows 7 home premium 64 bit oem.
if you're feeling like free, open source stuff, may be a little bit mint linux (64 bit) or ubuntu (64 bit) on the side.
