So I am running the system below in my sig, and I'm wondering how much of a gaming performance hit I will take if I upgrade to windows 7. The MAJORITY of my time is not so much gaming anymore, however when I do play, I would like the peace of mind that I'm still getting some decent frame rates using the same settings I currently use.
The games I currently am satisfied with are from around 2006 give and/or take 2-3 years. So, the F.E.A.R series, condemned, HL-2, Quake 4, Doom 3, Call of Duty 4, Portal series, Serious Sam 2, PREY, and of coarse Duke Nukem Forever.
I don't plan on upgrading to anything really current for awhile, just don't have the funds at the moment, and need to pay off some debt consolidation loans and I have a year left on a car loan. So what I have at the moment is going to have to do for now.
So with an Opteron 180, 3GB of RAM, and an 8800 Ultra, what type of gaming performance hit will I take going from XP Pro 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit?
