i really want to play lord of the rings online or warhammer online, but i don't know what windows operating system would be the best. Please Help!What Windows OS should I use to run LOTRO or Warhammer online?
You can run both on Win XP, Vista or Win 7. Chances are that you have, at the very least, Windows XP. If you have Vista, expect some issues, particularly with LOTRO. If you have Windows 7, you will not have issues.
Make sure that your system meets, at least, the RECOMMENDED requirements. Never try to run a PC game or MMO (not even an older MMO like WoW) with just the minimum. It is a waste of money as the game will not run smoothly, the graphics will be subpar, etc.What Windows OS should I use to run LOTRO or Warhammer online?
XP is definately supported and would be the best choice for a lot of reasons.
Vista and 7 have eyecandy interfaces that drain memory like mad. Vista and 7 both require 1 GIG of memory to run efficiently, while XP only requires 256 MB.
That means if you run on XP, you have more memory for your games, so faster loading, less odd stuttering in areas where new textures come in....
XP is slowly becoming a legacy operating system however, it's nearly been ten years I think? A very good system however.
If you have over 2 gig of RAM , just go for 7. Efficient, looks nice, works nice, and it's basically the new XP.
