I have been asked this many times by people...Which Windows OS is the best for gaming. I suppose the option is between Win7 64 Pro and Ultimate. What do you guys think?
 
In my opinion Ultimate is more like a server edition and might have more capabilities when it comes to a server setup but for home use Pro should be perfect?
 
I run Ultimate and my friend professional. They basically identical for gaming... I'm not quite sure of the extra features you get with ulti but sure a quick google search will yield results :)
 
Home Premium is fine for gaming. Professional adds Remote Desktop, server domains, the encrypted file system, Windows XP mode, and some other stuff which is useless for gaming.

Ultimate/Enterprise has Bitlocker and some very limited Unix application support in a server context. Very little point in getting it for most users, and certainly no point for gamers.
 
Ultimate x86 if u have 4gbs of ram or less, otherwise x64 version will do nicely
