I use Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit.But any version of Windows 7 will be great.I loved my Windows XP Professional version. But Win7 rocks! I mean it .....Windows Vista sucks. It always has from the get-go. I went from XP straight to Win7 and never lookin' back.I even prefer Win7 to Win8. Win8 is like a smartphone system.This LG drive works super great & I know it will for years to come. It's very quiet.I got it solely for it's Lightscribe ability. I already had the Lightscribe software, so this was a perfect choice.It actually was THE ONLY place I could find a SATA connected CD/DVD drive that ALSO has thecapability to burn images on the top side of the disc's with Lightscribe burning technology. I still highly rec' this item. I use Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit.But any version of Windows 7 will be great.I loved my Windows XP Professional version. But Win7 rocks!

Few servers come with an OS out of the box. Win Server 2011 is fifty bucks here. You'll also be smart to throw in more RAM. If you are not used to tearing apart PC's or working with routers and switches, this machine is on the end of the tech cycle and probably not the best toy for you, unless you want to learn a LOT.

What operating system do you plan on using? Windows 7 64 Bit= probably not, unless you are playing high end games or using CAD related programs. Windows 8= it would be worth the investment. I'm running 16 Gb of RAM with a Sabertooth on a high demand CAD machine with Windows 7, and the performance is outstanding. I'm also running 8 Gb of RAM on a Sabertooth with Windows 8 in a Premiere/After Effects/Photoshop environment and I'm purchasing 8 more Gb's to improve the performance.

Simply put Yes. To avoid confusion, I am running W7 Ultimate 64bit. I cannot speak for any other OS but I would assume the answer would be yes as well.

Yes, but not everything will work correctly. I would recommend staying windows 8.

I would recommend the G7-2220us, Although I don't like windows 8. Its a pain.

My concern was to get Windows 7, 64 bit. As far as the rest, I don't really know, but I have downloaded for free anything I have wanted to add.

Get the 830D; use Win7 64 bit and try to get 4 gig ram... Runs fast and cool.

Yes. That is the operating system I currently have on my computer. I've had no compatibility issues at all.

The default is 64 bit. However, we could install 32 bit OS per custoomer's request.

Zotacs proposal is the less the best. It doesnt come with anything. Not even a hard drive. Every thing is your choice. You decide what os or hd you want.

Win7 Pro (64 bit) is the default. But we can install 32 bit OS per request.

No OS unless the seller you buy it from includes one. Linux based OS or Windows works, I have not tried using it for a hackintosh so I can't say for sure if it is supported or not.

BIOS. Yes you can run linux on it easily. Now if you went with windows 8 or 8.1 it'll be a bit tricky.

Windows 7/8 2.0 GHz CPU or faster 2 GB RAM 4.5 GB free hard drive space for minimal install, 20 GB recommended

Vista, 7, 8. This really doesn't determine what OS you can or can not use, it is just a graphics card. It has lasted me for about 16 months now, no issues. If you are going to spend the money on this card though you may consider upgrading into the GTX780 though, as it will give more bang for your buck.
