Hello.
My name is Christopher hill. I am currently modifying my build so I can order a computer from DS. But there are a few things that I am not sure of what to choose. Since my budget is around 2800$, I feel that I should consider Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. So my question is, as for gaming or other stuff that I might need: Does Ultimate have any thing that makes it worth paying that extra for?
Especially for gaming, is what I am thinking.

In other words: Windows 7 Ultimate or just the regular Home?

Thank you,
Christopher.

if you want xp support then go with pro, if not then go with premium, for gaming you have no need for ultimate.

Isn't Windows 7 better/faster than xp?

Windows 7 Pro has XP support built in.  For the vast majority of us Window 7 Home Premium is the way to go.  Businesses that have programs that will only run in a XP environment will have to get the Windows 7 Pro in order to allow the older XP dependent programs to still run.

Ok so it looks like Windows 7 64 bit Professional is the way to go.
Thank you for your help. :)
