I think my hardware is quite decent. Might upgrade if needed:-
Intel Core 2 Quad @ 3 ghz
ATI Radeon HD 4870 (1GB, GDDR5)
4 gigs of RAM
I'ma grab me an Ultimate copy of W7 tonight. Thanks for the advice guys. Seeing how all of you agree on going 64-bit is convincing too.
MLAA, here I come!

Yeah this man is 100% right. Ultimate is a waste of money.Mr_Brit said:

Same here. Also, 30$ with my college email was an absolute steal.Minsc said:

i got two copies of ultimate for less than thatStallion Free said:
ah, the perks of microsoft expertzone. makes that part time retail job pay a lot more than you'd expect.
ultimate is only really useful for multiple language households though, no arguments.
you might want to go Pro if you need XP mode.

I can't think of one thing you'd need XP mode for (certainly not for game compatibility). I guess maybe if you had some odd hardware that doesn't have Windows 7 drivers? Have to be awfully old.

i can tell you what i've used it for. here at work we have a productivity app that will not work in internet explorer 8 or later, so i've used it for that.Minsc said:
it's useful having an older version of IE available for checking how web pages display in the older version.
also, it's useful having access to XP for when my parents call up and i have to troubleshoot an XP problem for them. i can't remember all the correct menu names and control panel options in the older version.
so that's a handful of stuff.
other reasons Pro is useful... being able to join a domain. again, most don't need that, but it's worth knowing that you need Pro to do that.
anyway, Eurogamer have an article by DF about MLAA. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-mlaa-360-pc-article

The performance cost isn't going to be anything like "free" with a 40SP part.

What about the CounterStrike image? I think that Konosuke posted it, unless he got it elsewhere.
Edit: Its just a link to the same image URL.

It does? AMD's drivers don't even support triple buffering DX games in the first place, you do know that, right? You're saying it plays silly buggers with D3DOverrider?

Has anyone gotten it to work successfully in a 48xx card? Not sure I wanna go around messing with registry entries before I know it really works.

10.10b hotfix for Windows XP (6850/6870). I don't know why you would own that class of card with XP anyway.. but here they are anyway.

Of course I know that, why else would I be using D3DOverider in the first place? :lolbrain_stew said:
I've only personally witnessed it when forcing triple buffering though D3DOverrider, I don't know if it messes with games with native TB options. I've seen it reported on Rage3D and Guru3D forums too. Further info seems a little thin on the ground though, I guess because even after all these years so many PC gamers still don't understand the Vsync/triple buffering thing.

Off topic, but to me there is one great reason to have Pro over Home edition and that is being able to access the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) which allows you to get rid of this retarded security warning every time you want to open a file:

I was able to disable UAC just fine in the Home edition... I can run .exes without being asked if I wanted to run them, unless I'm missing something?
You can download Virtual PC 2007 and several images for different combinations of IE versions and XP/Vista, for free, straight from MS's site.plagiarize said:

The first thing I always do when installing a fresh install of Win7 is set the UAC to "never notify" but I still get those warnings unless i add the exceptions for them in the group policy editor

That's not the UAC. Disable UAC and you'll still get that prompt for .exe's and the like.Minsc said:
EDIT: Kinda beaten.
I just bought Dead Space off of STEAM sales, after seeing the screenshots posted from Brain Stew on that topic(the ones that are in the OP here, aswell).
But honestly, this is Arabic to me.. i've never even used the Catalyst Center or stuff like that(i only use ingame spec options)-- so can someone point me towards an easy to grasp guide, to implement this feature on my card? (i have a 5850 and Win7 64bit).
