Too subjective to answer, have you used linux before? (ubuntu)
Do you prefer performance to appearance?
What will PC mainly be used for?
For that spec Windows 7 x64 will run quite well but really it depends on use.Last edited by SouthernComfort; 21 April, 2011, 00:08."What we've got here is failure to communicate." -
With a quad core cpu and 4Gb of ram I see no reason to run anything other than Win7.
Are you looking for better performance in games, if so buy a decent gamers GFX card.Comment

Was just thinking that
, though as a media player XBMC is very good.

with a good GFX card , that system'll keep up with most thing you'd throw at it... but you know that right ?
Gotta be win7 x64 (to make use of 4GB ram)
look at overclocking CPU ? Free , long as you got good cooling
RAID HDDs ? Cheap/free if your mobo has built in RAID controller
GFX card ? Expensive..... 512 ded GPU you say... laptop ? built-in graphics chipset ?
Benefits of setting up a RAID-0 array;
This is my 'normal' samsung 500GB HDD
This is my pair of 500GB samsung HDDs in RAID-0
(created a 'short-stroked' 200GB volume using 100GB on the start of each disk)

Win7 64-bit would seem the natural choice.
What are you using the PC for ?Comment
