OR! Put a dual boot menu, On your computer. On my HP a6313W and HP n3200s. I have Windows XP and Windows 7 on them. There are tons of tutorials on YouTube. To show you, how to partition your hard drive. So you can put, 2 operating systems or more. On one hard drive.
So, you can run old programs and new programs, on one computer. Just stay away from the VISTA....JUNK! From personal experience
bull vista is junk if your going to use vista go with the 32 bit with a high end video card for a smooth frame rate vista it self is not stable 64 bit would crash
The best OS would be none. They need to create a gaming OS for PC hardware so game developers can directly access the hardware instead of all the software layers they have to go thru. You would have simple menu system like the old Xbox and thats it; Games would really if they could dump slow crappy windows. You could create another partition on your computer and boot windows or boot your game console. I really miss when we could reboot out of windows 95 and boot games in Dos
i would like, and would definitely buy, an OS that was specifically made for PC gaming, maybe some permutation of Win7 that has been modified, streamlined and well thought out to offer the maximum performance and smoothest experience for it's specialized task.
Solaris would be the best, except... you can't install anything on it (quake is really the only one that does work, but it's old.)
Like a game console, Solaris as an OS actually "gets out of the way" when you game. It's incredibly stable. It's a pity it isn't even considered by folks who simply want to surf or type documents. If all my programs installed on it, I'd use it for sure. I've benched the hell out of it and tried to crash it on purpose with bit changers.. ya can't crash it xD
Apple is working on the gaming part... Apparently...I hope they take over the rights of OpenGL, now that would be awesome.
For me personally, I have NEVER liked windows- That's why I want to create my own operating system- an operating system of gamers! an operating system that doesn't have a wardrobe of pointless processes running in the background!! using up all my expensive GHz which I paid good money for!!
You didn't even mention any aspects of what makes Microsoft the better operating system other than developer support which Microsoft probably paid for. Although, reality hurts I guess...
I'm still in shock that Linux support has dropped EVEN FURTHER while the Linux user-base is actually going up.
Was this video made before Windows 7, Ive heard alot about windows 7 being bad, but then i get told that its good for gaming. Whats your thoughts gameman
I don't think there is a "best OS for gaming ",I think is more about which system video game developers create their games and they develop more for Windows because is more widely used.
@magnetoazulhuevon It doesn't really matter what you have once you're in the game, but with Linux and Mac computers, there are tons of games that won't even run on them. Therefore, out of these three Windows is the "Best"
@oblivion9122 check the date of the video. Vista was the newest OS at the time and as gamer you want the newest drivers and OS plus with the added support of DX10 most gamers will take the hit on their system.
I would have to say Windows. Currently Mac does have a handful of games on Steam, and some more independent games. Linux is capable, but does not have very many intense games. Windows emulators can be used on both systems, but they're costly.
2: 2gb ram is not enough for most games nowadays, you should upgrade to a ddr3 motherboard and 4 gb of ddr3 ram, do not buy 4gb ddr2 ram because its actually cheaper to buy a new mobo and ddr3 ram because ddr2 is outdated and costs more, also be sure to get a motherboard that has the correct socket for your processor
i hav geforce 210 1gb n core i3 4gb ram n windows xp sp2 converted to sp3 it runs da game prety smoth when its morning on 800x600 resulotion but high but at night it lags when da car's head lights r onn n all dat i dnt knw may b its sumthing wrong with da game or may b with windows but it must no hav to slow down on core i 3 wid 1gb 210geforce HELP ME i gues its sumthing with its VERSION TOO ?
Why does everyone hate vista? I dont get it? I had 2 XP computers which (not through viruses or me) just literally destroyed themselfs but slowly destroying all of its inside equipment lol? Then i got a Vista which was brilliant. Never failed me once, only prob is that it was a single core which is extremely outdated for gaming so ive ordered a quad core i-5 2.80Ghz 8GB RAM computer with windows 7 ( so im gonna see how windows 7 performs)
As a mac user i clearly say: Windows. The support for this OS hardware- and software wise is better than any other OS, pretty much everything is being perfected for windows and with windows 7 you've got a very stable and secure system that doesn't drain your resources like vista did.
@mandarmahadik1 No, vista does suck, Windows 7 manage memory 100x times better than windows XP, in most gaming case Windows 7 will give you more fps in games, Windows 7 closes useless prossess, it only open them when needed, multiple core manage is much better as the memory management. Windows 7 is not heavy, it may seem like it but it manage it in a wonderful way and when you need performance you has it.
@crissxxx Linux is stable for servers, not so stable for desktops if you ask me :).
Windows is great for gaming.As for Safe isnt the best since you can surf safely and stil be attacked.If someone wants to break into your pc to prove it then he will do it.
Windows 7 for entertainment such as games or movies being user frendly .However as the best Os is Linux since its the most stable and efficient.Ask any company why they use linux servers instead of Windows servers or from attacks why they use Linux to back up their operation.The only problem is that Linux wasnt made for avarage users.
fuck 7 if your willing to do a little work linux is better os all around but you pc noobs dont want to bother so you suck bill gates dick there i said it i went there oh hell dont get me started on this shit
So your saying, that even without native gaming support, Linux (Ubuntu) would be a better option right out of the box? Since I have just installed it, and it took me nearly 2 hours of finding software just to run Warcraft 3... but yhea, overall it seems like a better OS, just not for pure gaming performance :)
i'm an extensive linux user and even i don't think its a good choice for gaming. i'm not surprised it took you that long to find out how to play warcraft 3 - one of the issues with linux is theres no good or official documentation to help start you out, typically you have to fend for yourself. btw i'd switch to something different - ubuntu is really starting to suck lately. if you want something easy, use mint. thats heading is a good direction
@dennyaaa i meant was a better ALL AROUND os i would have to agree that win 7 has a better game support but that shitty win live and all that agravating shit but i practically live on computers so i know windows 7 inside and out so and yes to answer your question if ubuntu fedora wtf ever is a better gaming choice IF IT HAD THE SUPPORT but thats my opinion and yes i was rather flared up at windows at the time
@Joshay25 To be safe.. maybe, but Windows 7 is commonly used on Netbooks that have 1Gb of RAM. Microsoft doesn't lie in the requirements. =P
Also, how can you call Windows 7 new.. I'd understand if that post was when he/she originally asked like 6 months ago or whatever.. but three weeks ago 7 was not new.. xD It's VERY stable and very secure now, I never have crashes or any virus/spy-ware problems. (I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 86x)
Unless you're not into gaming and you don't care what your operating system looks like, and you don't mind having a user interface that's 3 generations old, and it really shows. =P
@visionimagify I think that's a good idea. =] Haha. I don't know, I still love XP, it's just really starting to feel outdated, to me anyways.. I think we can all agree that almost anything is better than Vista though. xD
Windows 7 wasn't out when this was recorded so stop complaining. I played a game in Windows 7 and in Windows XP. I noticed a significant increase in frame rate when using windows 7. Maybe because windows 7 has DirectX 10, but what I do know is that Windows 7 is the way to go. Also as of March 8 2010 Steam has been released for Mac OS X, making it now an official gaming platform.
Tiny XP Beast Edition is best. Only has the stuff you need, doesn't have IE (has Firefox instead, and I think that Browsar can do anything you normally would need IE for, and it doesn't need to be installed), and best of all it takes only around 40 MB of ram =D
I can actually play Megaten on a 1.8 ghz cpu (although maybe having over 1.6 MB ram and a 512 MB video card helps xD)
hay windows 7 is just like vista but anyway there is another os called windows xp gamers editon and it is really compact(102mb) and dose not have many processes running to save up ram and cpu + it has a DirectX10 capable

@gibbousmoon100 lol, DOOM baby i mean seriously why do people sleep on DOS, it basically runs windows. There would be no windows if it DOS were to die.
HI, Im getting a new PC for gameing. If I get the 64 bit, Im I going to have a problem playing any new games? Such as Modran warfare 2, Just cause 2, far Cry 2 etc. This is what Im buying..Intel i7 980x overclocked to 4.2 6Gb Kingston HyperX (2) Graphic card ATI Radeon HD 5970 PCI-E 16X 2GB GDDR5 Video Card. Please let me know thanx.
why doesnt microsoft build a pure stripped version of whatever system is best into a native gaming OS designed solely to play games, ahh XBOX is that what they call it hmmm - Forget i said that.
dude your retarded, microsoft isnt shit, whats your acomplishment? nothing? lets see your award winning os? come on! i wanna see what you got thats better than windows 7.
@MissRLA Stick with XP, I just did the mistake of going to 7 and I have experienced lots and lots of frame drops, and lag. I'll go back to XP in a few days.
@MissRLA get w7, 64bit ultimate, it hella worth the upgrade from xp... assumeing of course you got a 64bit cpu, and dx10 or higher gpu.. other wise stick with xp
Go with Windows 7 if you are concerned about Direct X 10 and/or Direct X 11, i´ve found that it runs much better than XP because and is better optimized for your hardware. It also offers better problem solving and more useful tools.
I had Windows XP for over 3 years until i recently switched over to Win 7 and im very pleased! Of course it takes some time to get used to, but arent we all beginners some time in life. :D
@MissRLA 7 and XP are about the same on how well games run however 7 has DX11 but do not use vista as its a resource hog. 7 also has better security so ye get 7.
@MissRLA let me tell you that windows 7 is awesome vista and xp sucks but 7 is very good for gaming cuz it works with xp and vista games just run it in administrator and in compatibility for vista or xp upgrade custom to 7 windows 7 is the better windows for gaming!!
@MissRLA Windows 7 is a lot better for gaming. I played mirror's edge (it has motion blur and all of the other graphics intensive things and whatnot) on XP and Windows 7, but i found in Windows 7 I got noticeably higher frame rates. Maybe because I was playing on a laptop, but Windows 7 is definitely the way to go.
@DeltaPhi79 windows 7 is the best of windows os.. it runs smoothly (even on an old 2003 xp dell) and absolutly NO errors! currently im running windows 7 Ultimate, i love it :D
@TreeTopSky That wasn't my point you tard.... Someone said Windows 7. Windows 7 wasn't out when this video was posted. Nothing about 7 applies to this video.
@DeltaPhi79 hahahaha, you aparently thought i was insultin you or somthing... no i was just posting my opinion of win7 ;) but its cool, ppl make mistakes :D
@MissRLA this video was uploaded before windows 7 was released. Because vista was such an embarrassment for microsoft (like the iphone 4 is for apple), windows 7 is everything vista should have been, go for windows 7.
It doesn't matter if someone makes a linux for gaming. Game developers and gaming hardware and device manufacturers will have to support it. Otherwise, the distribution will be useless.
Microsoft certainly did not design Windows to be a gaming OS. But all the game developers and hardware makers support it. They make their products around Windows. That's why Windows become the default and best gaming OS.
I have had Vista on my rig for quite a while (specs in my Chanel) and the only BSOD or artifacts is when i was overclocking other than that Vista 64 bit is perfect for me.
I'm not gonna argue about the memory consumption by Win7. But yes, and that it pretty understanable since it's based on Vista. Otherwise with a 64 bits OS that shouldn't be any problem. For myself I use 6Gig of RAM which is already somewhat overkill.
Windows XP also was designed around 9 year old computers. comparing xp's resoruces to windows 7 is like comparing windows xp to windows 3.11. Windows XP had it's day in the sun and it's time to move on. Windows 7 has much better support for multi-cores then XP did and it has the latest graphic technology like support for DX 11 that windows xp doesn't have let alone support for DX 10.
Windows 7 def. Windows XP was better then Vista overall performance wist minue not having Direct X 10, but Windows XP is showing it's age now def after the relase of Windows 7. Windows XP doesn't support Direct X 11 let alone Direct X 10. So for a gamer you pretty much have to go with Windows 7 now to get the best of both worlds in perforamnce and the latest graphics technology.
i got windows xp and im playing video games on it , hahaha ..hah... OH FUCK IT!

I think the MAC Os is the best for gaming - I really do cause at that price it must be good at something eh??
Well. What else would you pay that much more for AHH, I know now, its a little tiny piece of metal in the shape of an apple the logo.
Only kidding, Id say windows7 or XP all the way - probably XP for reliability but 7 for new games.

Go with Windows 7 if you are concerned about Direct X 10 and/or Direct X 11, i´ve found that it runs much better than XP because and is better optimized for your hardware. It also offers better problem solving and more useful tools.
I had Windows XP for over 3 years until i recently switched over to Win 7 and im very pleased! Of course it takes some time to get used to, but arent we all beginners some time in life. :D

@MissRLA 7 and XP are about the same on how well games run however 7 has DX11 but do not use vista as its a resource hog. 7 also has better security so ye get 7.

@MissRLA Windows 7 is a lot better for gaming. I played mirror's edge (it has motion blur and all of the other graphics intensive things and whatnot) on XP and Windows 7, but i found in Windows 7 I got noticeably higher frame rates. Maybe because I was playing on a laptop, but Windows 7 is definitely the way to go.

@MissRLA this video was uploaded before windows 7 was released. Because vista was such an embarrassment for microsoft (like the iphone 4 is for apple), windows 7 is everything vista should have been, go for windows 7.

Spawn7756 2 years ago
It doesn't matter if someone makes a linux for gaming. Game developers and gaming hardware and device manufacturers will have to support it. Otherwise, the distribution will be useless.
Microsoft certainly did not design Windows to be a gaming OS. But all the game developers and hardware makers support it. They make their products around Windows. That's why Windows become the default and best gaming OS.

I'm not gonna argue about the memory consumption by Win7. But yes, and that it pretty understanable since it's based on Vista. Otherwise with a 64 bits OS that shouldn't be any problem. For myself I use 6Gig of RAM which is already somewhat overkill.

Windows XP also was designed around 9 year old computers. comparing xp's resoruces to windows 7 is like comparing windows xp to windows 3.11. Windows XP had it's day in the sun and it's time to move on. Windows 7 has much better support for multi-cores then XP did and it has the latest graphic technology like support for DX 11 that windows xp doesn't have let alone support for DX 10.
SteelCity1981 2 years ago
Windows 7 def. Windows XP was better then Vista overall performance wist minue not having Direct X 10, but Windows XP is showing it's age now def after the relase of Windows 7. Windows XP doesn't support Direct X 11 let alone Direct X 10. So for a gamer you pretty much have to go with Windows 7 now to get the best of both worlds in perforamnce and the latest graphics technology.
