I am building a new mame cab and I bought this hardware, I am going to run 64 bit and need to know which would be best... An N-lited version of windows xp pro 64-bit or stock (since there is not a "lite" program for 7 that i know of?) windows 7 home premium Obviously a lite version helps because less stuff is running, but windows 7 im guessing makes better use of 64 bit and dual cores. Here is my hardware: Amd Athlon II X2 250 Dual Core 3.0ghz 2gb ddr2 Ram 500gb sata Any suggestions? |

Just keep xp your not even gonna see or use the new features when running the front end over it and you may run into compatibility issues |

well i was planning on turning off most of the visual aspects of windows 7 (aero, peek, etc) but you dont think the bare perfomance enhancements would be worth it? (seeing as dual core and 64 bit is now a major focus) |
| BobA:
There is a Tiny 7 available from usual sources. It is not available in 64 bit and probably will not be. |

I would stick with XP. There really is no compelling technical reason to use Win7 over nLited XP for an arcade cab. As a previous poster mentioned, with Win7 you also take the risk of having compatibility issues. |
