After reading further, you'll see that I advocate using the OS
determined by the apps that you deem critical. If the current software
performs all the tasks you require of it then there is no reason to
migrate it to a different OS, especially if you can't run your software
on the new OS. Stick with what works until it no longer works.

Maybe they're saving the perfect score, for this one. It is four SSDs
RAIDed together, into a single plugin card.

And I've had absolutely no reason to do so until now.
So, you advocate updating software that still works, but not the
operating system? Well that makes good sense.
Obviously not critical software, and I had other reasons. I am a heavy
multitasker and like to keep a lot of apps open and working in the

Yeah... given that your GPU's gaming performance is so high, then one would
think handling an Aero desktop would be a comparatively remedial task. It
make no sense to me either. My scores came out even.

I have not yet done an actual switch from XP, but I am researching to get
ready for the move - the machine I built was designed for W7. What I have
been reading is that the upgrade path to upper versions of W7 is supposedly
seamless. Meaning if you installed the Home Premium edition and then wanted

What a brilliant post. You've boiled it all down better than anything
I've seen written to date
by some of those high priced nabobs. You've also made it really really
clear that there
is absolutely no reason for all of us to change at this time or even in
the near term..

With Windows 95 introducing 32-bit application support in 1995 and
64-bit versions of Windows showing up in 2003 (which don't support
16-bit apps), you've had 6 to 14 YEARS to get rid of the old 16-bit
applications or get their authors to upgrade them to 32-bit versions.
Most likely you are using abandonware so it will never get upgraded. If

What puzzles me the most is why the Graphics for Gaming (6.2) so much higher

graphics would be less demanding than Gaming Graphics...
