Xp or Vista?

I have about 512 mb Ram and a core2duo processor with motherboard...

What op should i use? Windows VistaHome Basic Or Windows Xp?

Its up to u what kind of work u r doing in your Operating system.
But according to me windows Xp is better but vista is also good.
and windows xp is faster than windows visa and consume less space.

vista on 512 tho shud work, but if u can increase it, u shall not face ne bottlenecks

if u buyin licensed copy of XP, den u will safely recive support form M.S 4 d next 4-5 yrs

Windows XP would be better in the current scenario. Further, rather than using a streamed down version of Vista, better to use a full fledged XP.

Go for XP now. There is enuf time to migrate to vista later. There is not just any BIG things gonna happen in Vista world. SO hold ur horses and go for XP.
Eventually most of us wud migrate to vista maybe after SP1.

Definitely XP !

I think u use Windows XP, as with 512 RAM u cannot get Aero!

^^
U can definitely run aero on 512MB RAM. It doesn't run by default but just looking for aero in help will show you how to enable it.

BTW, Vista Home Basic doesn't have aero.

well he din mention anything abt the gfx card. if its onboard then forget abt aero wid 512mb ram! i'd suggest xp too unless u put in more ram.

[xbonez]

i suggest xp

[ThinkFree]

Use XP, All features of Vista won't work unless you have 1 GB of RAM. You would get a faster speed with XP on a PC with 512 MB RAM.

XP will run like "horse in a durbey race" ...........

bt

vista will run like "dead horse in a durbey race" .........


my suggestion ::::: XP ::::::

[ayush_chh]

don't give second thought. go for XP....with 512 mb its better to stick with XP

[reddick]

70% of recent available softwares r compatiable with XP only It gona take a year or two so that 100% gona work with Vista...So go for XP DUDE

Xp is da best....i've been using vista home basic for a week and must say...it suc*...i 2 have 512 mb ram....go for xp bro..its best...

[xbonez]

i suggest xp coz i don't think it has any features u don't get in xp (native or with third-party support). xp will also run way better than vista on ur sys
