Hey guys,
I'm a long time reader but this is my first post. I'm looking to install windows on to my mac book pro. I have the fairly new unibody 15" pro (2.4 core 2 duo,2gb RAM, Geforce 9600M GT).
The reason I'm installing windows is because I'm a gamer so naturally I need windows for most games including Aion. This leads me to a few options.
1. I could buy windows xp and enjoy the stability that I hear about so much.
2. Buy this
Newegg.ca - Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32-bit for System Builders w/ Tech Guarantee - Operating Systems
and use the free upgrade coupon. I have no interest in using vista other then using it to upgrade to windows 7. I have found conflicting reports of this coupon working for my purposes and was wondering if someone could tell me definitively.
I'm looking to have this done well before the oct 22 release of windows 7 and also want to keep costs down as much as possible. My two options are relatively the same price so I am looking for advice as to which is best. Im also open to suggestions and anything I may have over looked.
Thank you so much!
