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?
