Microsoft Office 2007 Windows XP Professional x64

Windows XP Professional x64 vs. Windows seven Greatest x64
Once again, my trusty R60 is beginning to act up once more and displaying signs that maybe an OS reinstall will be the most effective way forward. I first purchased the Lenovo laptop computer in early 2007 with Windows XP Professional x86 pre-installed. Because I certified for a free upgrade, I ordered the Windows Vista Business x86 upgrade DVD media. My only price was shipping charges which was under SGD20.
Over the previous three decades, I have upgraded the Windows Vista,Buy Office Professional Plus 2010, downgraded back again to Windows XP and upgraded back up to Windows Vista. Operating the optimum of 4GB of RAM on board, I can’t help but notice how long my system takes to boot up each time I hit the power button. Maybe the number of software that I've put in might be a reason but taking a quick look, beneath are the main suites.
Adobe CS4 Master Collection
Microsoft Office 2007 (without BCM installed)
Kaspersky Internet Security 2010
Most other programs are small installations and largely negligible. With my work machine (X61) running on Windows seven Skilled x64, the difference in boot times when turned on in parallel is far from negligible.
At this point,Office 2007, there are three OS options available to me. Windows XP Expert + SP3 x86/x64 or Windows 7 Ultimate x64. A pity my Windows Vista Enterprise is a x86 DVD media. An x64 copy might have meant faster performance on Windows Vista because it would use the full 4GB of memory available instead of just 3GB. Still, Vista being such a memory hog, I cannot be sure if it would make a lot difference.
Windows XP Skilled + SP3 (x86) – Option 1
Option 1 will be to pop in my original Lenovo recovery discs and downgrade back to Windows XP Expert x86. It will likely be the safest route per say considering that updating to SP3 is not likely to post significantly of an issue. The downside is I will be operating on the 32-bit system and as soon as once again utilizing only 3GB out of the 4GB of memory available . The upside is I should not have any problems installing drivers for all my hardware especially those listed below.
Creative X-Fi Surround 5.1 (external soundcard)
Creative WebCam LIVE! Ultra (webcam)
Brother DCP-7040 (AiO printer)
Windows XP Skilled + SP3 (x64) – Option 2
Option 2 will involve reinstalling the OS from a copy of Windows XP Expert x64 CD media that I got my hands on. The 64-bit OS should allow my machine to utilize the full 4GB of memory on board. Driver support might prove to become an issue here because most Windows XP installations out there were on the 32-bit system. Not many manufacturers actually created 64-bit drivers for their products. Even Lenovo only has 32-bit support for their ThinkVantage software on Windows XP. There is a chance 32-bit drivers will continue to work in a 64-bit environment but I will not know till after I've installed the x64 version of Windows XP Skilled. Worst case scenario, I learn that I've more headaches than I would like.
Windows seven Ultimate (x64) – Option 3
The last option will involve upgrading to Windows 7 Greatest. In terms of performance, Windows seven will make good sense. The increase performance over Windows XP should be easily noticable, something lacking in Windows Vista. As with every new OS,Microsoft Office Standard 2010 Key, hardware support will probably be a major issue. Though Lenovo already has driver support for Windows seven (x86/x64), I cannot say the same for the likes of Creative and Brother. The last time I checked,Office 2007 Professional Key Windows7 Ultimate Crack Serial Keygen Download, Brother only had drivers supporting up to Windows Vista for the DCP-7040. Creative can be written off given that publishing a final driver for the WebCam LIVE! Ultra to support Windows Vista never saw any light.
As of now, I am still undecided on which OS version and unsure of hardware support for Windows 7 should I take that route. Do I fallback on Windows XP Expert (x86) and give up 1GB of memory? Or do I take the chance on Windows XP Skilled (x64) and hope for the best? Or do I go for better overall performance with Windows seven Ultimate (x64) and be prepare to shell out more bucks for new hardware?
If anyone is in the know about the driver compatibility for my hardware listed above on Windows 7, do let me know.
