Blue_Flight 0 Posted September 2, 2009 Hi there, i´m just in the process to buy a new rig and this is the hardware: CPU: Intel i7-975 Extreme Edition Board: Asus P6T RAM: 6 GB Corsair 1333 Graphics: Asus GTX-295 Now the question is which OS should i use? I need a 64 bit version becaue of the 6GB RAM. But which one? There is XP64, Vista 64, and Windows 7 64. There is an offer actually when buying Vista Home Premium or Ultimate 64 you get the possibility to upgrade it to seven. So what should i do? Thanks for your answers!

LondonLad 13 Posted September 2, 2009 Personally my opinion would be Windows 7 x64 (once its officially released) :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 295 is known to be problematic with A2 (Do a search, many people here have reported unacceptable performance using this card). You might want to pick up 2 x 285 or 2 x 280. Both are faster solutions than the 295 and 2 x 280 will work out cheaper than a 295. Win 7 64 works well for me (but you will require some command line switches to get it running well under Win 7 using an i7) Eth Edited September 2, 2009 by BangTail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ICE-Raver 10 Posted September 2, 2009 Windows 7 64 like everyone else said. It shouldn't even be a question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1052 Posted September 2, 2009 ...So what should i do? Thanks for your answers! At first you could have posted this in the PC Discussion thread @ Offtopic forum. Simply because your question has nothing to do with troubleshooting ArmA2. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
