So, my system serves me now only for: * Browsing Internet. * Downloading stuff like movies. * Work (some lightweight programming, and graphic programs like Inkscape and Gimp).
No gaming, no emulation, and I rarely use all my RAM (I only have 8 GiB).
Right now I'm using 7. But, would I be better using 8.1 with Metro disabled?
