I just got Win 7 (legit) cus my new monitors only have Win7 drivers.
They work with my XP Dell but i figure they might work better with Win7.
I was thinking of backing up the hard drive and formatting the PC and installing WIn7 .I Ive had lots of problems with this PC in the passed which Dell where shit at helping with so i figure a fresh start is a good idea.
Turns out its a RAID Dell Dimension 9150... means nothing to me.
Should i do it. Will it be easy. How do i format a RAID thingy?
Will the Win7 install give me an option to wipe the damn thing. I did read that installing Win7 would require a complete format anyway.
Am i talking hogwash..?
sorry for thread jack.

The RC version of Win 7 had some issues, but I have not had any problem running 32 bit software on my 64 bit OS

I had to reinstall a few things like CS5 etc but everything works great. The only thing that doesn't work is my 5 year old phone lol, but a $5 bluetooth dongle solved that issue!
