As title - we won't be going back to XP, but we want to gauge what to use on our test rigs

I'll allow multiple choice for multiple systems. If you're about to upgrade to SP1 please tick SP1, ta

DougEdey · 26th Mar 2008, 12:20

I'm guessing that it's me and glider selecting *nix already

I do have XP on here but I don't game anymore with it

Shielder · 26th Mar 2008, 12:22

Nope it was me. I'll be installing all three on one system soon so I put that down in advance.

ElThomsono · 26th Mar 2008, 13:19

You caught me at a bad time, 10.4

I don't think my main rig will host anything other than XP-32 for a long time.

mctigger · 26th Mar 2008, 13:24

xp32 for the foreseeable future until upgrading to vista is more or less essential.

Shadow_101 · 26th Mar 2008, 13:31

XP Pro x32 SP3. Does the Job Nicely.

quack · 26th Mar 2008, 13:51
