    Default Best Windows OS.

    I think I'm about ready to attempt a fresh Windows install. I have (legal) access to various 32 and 64 bit versions of XP, Vista, and 7. I want to maximize performance on my laptop. Also, I'm sick of losing 20GB of HD space to Vista's magical void. I am also considering upgrading from 2GB to at least 4GB of RAM. Recommendations?

    Windows7 is a thing of beauty compared to other versions, they did it right this time.

    Cool. I'm really bent on XP Professional 64-bit, but I'll try 7 if all of you think it's that great. Thanks.

    What about the RAM?
