XP vs Vista vs 7

I just wanted to know which one of these is the best for running Dolphin, whether its XP 32, 64, or Vista 32, 64, or 7 32, 64.
If you know which is best from your personal experience, please be kind to add your system specs along with the build you're using.
Thanks a lot Smile

I don't think it really matters what OS Dolphin runs on but you should use a 64 bit version. I would choose Windows 7 x64 since it's the newest OS and doesn't suck. I've read an article on XP vs Vista vs 7 gaming performance somewhere and XP beat all of them on a low end machine with 7 in second and Vista in last. On a high end machine 7 came first, then XP, then Vista.

then am sorry to ask this but do you think these specs would go under the high end or the low end machines ?
Amd turion 64 x2 2.4ghz
2GB of ram

Should be high end, I guess. The best choice for you is to get Win 7 x64
