Indi75 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Just curious to see what people are installing on since Snow Leopard and Windows 7 are both available by the time FM is released. I'm installing on Windows 7 on both laptop and desktop, both 64bit. I'll not bother adding 64bit versions of Windows into the poll since it's not that relevant with FM being 32 bit.

DanGLiverpool Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Probably Vista when the game comes out, although when I get a new rig built, I might have Windows 7 on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saulty2805 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'm genuinely asking. Well, In answer to your question. The OS will have some effect on the running of the game, but the computer spec is more important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arijit Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I bought Vista just an year ago. Don't want to re-invest into other OS so quickly. As of now, it seems I'll be using Vista for few more years unless I get free copy of windows 7. There's also chance I'll be moving to Mac in 2010.

SnakeXe Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'm genuinely asking. It'll have an effect if you have an OS that needs a lot of RAM to run - the less RAM the OS is using, the more FM can use and so the better it'll run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her9 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 hopefully my Windows 7 pre-order will arrive before the release of FM. in that case i'll be installing it on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harper Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Windows Vista. I'll install Windows 7 if I get a free upgrade, which I believe is promised with the computer I just bought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekman Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'll be playing the demo on Vista but since I've got Windows 7 on pre-order i'll probably wait before purchasing FM2010 then install it on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bardock Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It'll have an effect if you have an OS that needs a lot of RAM to run - the less RAM the OS is using, the more FM can use and so the better it'll run. That is actually sort of a misleading statement. Vista for example takes up a lot of RAM but if you have the 64 version and 4GB RAM (32 bit version doesn't recognize more then 3GB) then you should be fine. Actually I think if you have 3 GB RAM FM should run just fine on Vista x86 too. Not too sure about that though because I have no experience with x86 OS. Still though Windows 7 is a much better OS that takes far less space/power to run and should be able to use multi-core CPUs more effectively so upgrade if you can.

Heelswxman Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Sorry, what's Snow Leopard and how does it compare to Microsoft OS? Its an updated MAC OS. How does it compare? It blows Microsoft's OS away. Sorry I'll take my MAC fanboy hat off now. (However being that I use both extensively every day, I find I prefer the MAC operating systems more) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indi75 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Vista. There's no way I'd buy Windows 7 within a year of its release. To be honest, I never had many issues with Vista, even in 64 bit, but even the Windows 7 beta was better than Vista. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
