I am confused as to which Windows operateing system to buy .
I have a DAW , audio work station that I need to upgrade to a 64 bit platform . I use a duo Opteron AMD chip , Sonar7 software { 64 bit } Lynx Studio I/O cards , Universal audio plugins . Sonar will run on XP64 or Vista and the rest on the hardware has updates for both as well .
So , What is the difference ? between xp64 and Vista ?
I don't need any of the extras that Vista has in it . I don't connect my work station to the internet .
What I need is a full 64 bit platform for the speed and processor power .
Which one fits the bill ? If it's Vista , which one ? If it's XP64 , I am looseing anything ?
