Kurosaki Ichigo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Okay so basically the title says it all. But I have one question to ask. If the current computer specs I have now, would switching from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade make any difference or no difference as far as how my games run? Here are the following computer specs. Machine name: XW6200-1 Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.101209-1647) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard System Model: hp workstation xw6200 BIOS: Default System BIOS Memory:2048MB RAM Processor: Intel® Xeon CPU 3.60GHz (4 CPUs) Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce 9600 GSO DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0610&SUBSYS_23851682&REV_A2 Display Memory: 768.0 MB Driver Name: nv4_disp.dll Driver Version: 6.14.0012.6658 (English) DDI Version: 9 (or higher) So there you have it, my computer specs. So please, tell me if you think that switching OS's will make any difference. Thanks! -Happy Gaming Kurosaki Ichigo Edited March 23, 2011 by Kurosaki Ichigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few friends of mine did that. That is if you want to find out if your desktop/laptop is suitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredTacos Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Your computer will run worse in games. I wouldn't upgrade if it were me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurosaki Ichigo Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Really? I thought it would increase my gameplay peformance. Do you suggest I save up some money and just get a new computer or what or should I just buy the full version of Windows 7 because I only have Windows 7 Home Premium UPGRADE and apparently you cant do the upgraded version from windows XP.

I would upgrade video card first, then go with 4gb of ram. The video upgrade alone will make a drastic difference as the 9600 is a bit out of date. I personally would save for the full version, if the system crashes and you have to reinstall it will be a pain in the ass to reinstall everything.

CrazyHorse One-Eight Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Looks like a server computer to me, but what terry said is fine (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurosaki Ichigo Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Well speaking of which, I think my grandpa did say that he used the computer I have now for videos and shit. But yeah, your right about the whole save money to get a full disc version of Windows 7. All I need is a graphic card upgrade, os upgrade then I'm good to go . Oh and one thing I want to ask is how can I fix my computer to where it shuts down properly without me having to press the button to turn it off cause everytime I press shutdown the screen will go black and my computer will still be running.
