I need advice about OS im using. Atm im using Windows 7 32bit, and im thinking to go back to XP, just because of games. I think, with my configuration that would be good choice, I need your opinion?
AMD Athlon dual core 5600+
Ati Radeon HD 3600
4gb RAM DDR2
Its an old PC, and I dont think there is no point in trying to upgrade it, or there is?

not really gonna help you much if you're planning on playing newer games instead of older ones...
32bit w7 isn't particulalry heavy, though with 4gb a small fraction of your RAM isn't being used...
Maybe it's a good idea if you have 64bit XP installation hidden somewhere, but those are pretty darn rare afaik.

W7 32-bit is fine for u, w7 32-bit shouldn't cause too many compaitibility issues. It's the 64-bit version that causes most problems with older games.
going to xp 32-bit makes u lose some available ram
going 64-bit xp will make a lot of games not playable..

Stick with w7 if it runs normal, go back to xp if u find that ur pc goes too slow.

Upgrading that pc: not worth it

Thought so. It does run normal most games, was just curious to see if its gona be enough for Guild Wars 2, I tried it and it was ok, but I doubt I think mass world pvp might cause problems..

possibly but hopefully the content is large enough that you can avoid mass pvp for 4 or 5 months.... then it will be worth buying a new pc xD
