1249907 2011-12-21 11:42:00 i have 9 on my system now was wondering if i can upgrade and where 0leumas0 (16666)
1249908 2011-12-21 12:06:00 yep - 9.0c is the newest version you can run on XP
I think it's now up to version 11.xx for Vista/7, but that 9.0c is the only one you can install for XP

1249909 2011-12-21 12:19:00 THANKS , I know XP is on its way out just found out support ends in 2014 Gunna wait till then to buy new cp waiting for win8 read that it has radical changes allot better than 7 0leumas0 (16666)
1249910 2011-12-21 17:28:00 ... provided your hardware is supported by it that is ;) On top of that, why hinder yourself for another 2-3 years when it'll cost you bugger all to upgrade now? Chilling_Silence (9)

Dont believe all read read about new unreleased Win versions. Its alot of marketing hype. Look at the debacle with Vista, & ME .
I bet Win8 will be a fizzer , just like Vista . At least no better than 7 .
XP is still fine btw . But new PC's are allways nice to get :thumbs:

1249912 2011-12-21 23:38:00 There's an Article on here about how analysts don't think desktop uptake of windows 8 will be very high. They seem to think people will see no reason to upgrade, and businesses are never quick to change - my work still runs XP with IE6.

DX9c on XP
DX11 on 7
forget Vista exists, everyone else has.

1249913 2011-12-22 06:41:00 :D lol :D to the vista comment I heard it was worse than XP more of a downgrade than up. but the win8 is suppose to support multiple monitors run your tv n cp same time 0leumas0 (16666)
1249914 2011-12-22 06:55:00 You can still install DX9, in Win7. Even tho it has DX 11 You can use multiple monitors in most versions of Windows. Depending on the card youre using Speedy Gonzales (78)
1249915 2011-12-22 07:17:00 :D lol :D to the vista comment I heard it was worse than XP more of a downgrade than up.

Some members of this forum disagree with that :p

1249916 2011-12-22 08:50:00 I think Vista is fine personally, but very similar to 7 which is better so it has no point. dugimodo (138)
