mrexodia Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Wndows Xp x86 rocks imo. Fast, reliable and simply the most easy os. Sad is had no hardcore gaming support anymore, I use win7 x86 (soon x64) for gaming stuff, though isn't terribly slow (my pc: intel q8400 2.6ghz quad core, 4gb ram, 1gb nvidia gfx550ti, 1tb hdd) Edited January 28, 2013 by Mr. eXoDia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have my Q6600, older generation CPU to yours and on an older die but from memory runs roughly similar to your generation CPU. I still love the Q6600, one of the legendary Intel CPU's in my eyes (if there is ever such a phrase for tagging a CPU) and still a solid performer for most tasks especially for a CPU that debuted back in 2007! If you stick an SSD in your drive it will bring a fresh lease of life to it though that isn't going to help much for gaming. Your going to be CPU limited for some of the latest power hungry games...

Ted. I actually meant isn't , my cpu works perfect with most new games on quite high settings (it has more problems with Fallout New Vegas (2010) then with the 2012 black ops 2) Thanks for the overclocking advice though, I never checked that...

Nacho_dj Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I normally use three systems: one old machine with Windows 98 (hey I din't see this option in the poll hehe) and it has a partition that can be launched with Windows 2000, where I develop all my tools.And I have lately got a new machine with XP 64-bits, I don't like the way like Vista and Win7 works, asking permission for everything you want to do, and some more undesiderable things that can be done easily with XP.

CUDiLLA Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Win 7 x64 As far as my own personal experiences go in regards to operating systems, Win 7 is by far the most stable one. Win 8 is another Vista for me - an OS I'll never ever install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverser Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hi all!
