Will Windows XP be capable of letting the hardware in my new PC run at its full potential? I have 32bit and I know 4GB of ram is the max, that is just what i have. I have XP installed now on this computer and I didn't spring for 7 saving me some money. I thought I could get it cheaper but it looks like I either won't be doing that or it will take longer then my new PC to get here.
My specs are below and I'm just wondering if I should really try to get 7 or just stick with XP for now? I'm tech savvy but not *that* tech savvy. I don't know much about the limits of XP and newer hardware. I'm also looking to get 64bit windows 7 as my hardware is as I am aware very capable of running 64bit.
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
ASUS M4A77TD AM3 DDR3 AMD 770 chipset tech
4GB (2GBx2) PC1333 DDR3 PC3 10666 Dual Channel
ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB DDR5 16X PCIe
The rest I don't see as being too useful.
Thanks for any advice.
EDIT : How much of a pain is it to go from 32bit to 64 bit if I get the upgrade disc vs the full version? Also I can't install the upgrade by itself if the HDD is formatted with no OS? Thanks again.
