    Fastest OS for my setup?

    Well I've decided to reinstall. Everything has already been backed up and I plan on sticking to a windows OS due to gaming obviously.


    Specs on the system this is happening on:

    Phenom X6 1100T
    8GB Ram G.Skill
    5830 Crossfired
    Asus Xonar Essence STX


    I'm pretty lost on what 64Bit OS i should install, suggestions! let it at me.

    I was thinking about vista tooo because I can edit the DLL's and change start up animations and sounds, etc. which isnt possible in 7 as far as I know, but! the performance isnt worth it.

    You have 8GB RAM just like me, don't you think using everything you have right? Get the Seven, will be fast too.

    And Vista sucks dicks.

    Does customization really matter, not like you're gonna stare at your wallpaper.
