5 manning with vista or xp?

[hellsown]

Hey hellsown,

The computer should be fine for 5boxing on it, and I would recommend Windows Vista 64bit, for hte following reasons:
1) Symlink advice above
2) You state you ahve 4 gb of physical memory. This in combination to the video memory would be in excess of 4gb, which means it is impossible to use all of it in a 32bit OS.

Windows Vista 64bit is really a great operating system, I use it on all 5 of my computers. It was designed for NEW computers, and you want to ENSURE you have up to date drivers. Beyond that you shouldnt' have much issues

Good advice here, though symlinking will work fine on XP and Vista 32 as well (It's what I use on 3 of my boxes).

Your PC should be just fine as-is if you're short on cash for the OS upgrade.

ty every1...for replying...really appreciate it...

i can upgrade to vista 64..$ not a problem...if necessary...but does 64, take up more ram to run..like 32 takes 2 gigs i believe some1 told me.....i also found source of my lag problem....i think...for some reason when patch rolled out i had trouble reinstalling wow at the time..and ended up putting pre-bc version..in program files..and the tbc..ended up on c:\ drive..but hopefully...with symlinking..or with the pwershell script....it will be incredible....as i cant imagine now going back to solo'ing...lol
