Tripredacus Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Considering that XP doesn't support DirectX 10, I'm going to say Vista or 7. I guess some people can hack DX10 to work in XP but I never trusted that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I guess some people can hack DX10 to work in XP but I never trusted that idea.Just in case of need:http://alkyproject.blogspot.com/via google translate:http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Falkyproject.blogspot.com%2F&sl=ru&tl=en&hl=it&ie=UTF-8I have NO idea whether it works or if it works somhow "better" than 7, though.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 +1 on Windows 7 64Bit, also for the chipset drivers of the mobo and that CPU, plus you don't want to loose 0.75GB of RAM to a 32Bit OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really *want* or *need* a 64 bit OS to play some games? jaclaz Edited October 14, 2011 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myelin Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 I am planning to play dx 9 and dx 10 games released before 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You'll need vista or win7 for the dx10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasz86 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 If you trust benchmarks then XP should be faster for DX9 games... but if you actually want to buy the OS it'd be wiser to go for 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
