Taking a gamble here. I am getting a new computer with Windows 7 but I've been seeing reports on Google that it crashes or doesn't function at all with this OS.

Firstly, remember this is a volunteer board. If yo uwant an immediate answer, there are plenty of shops and phone helplines you can use.
Secondly, it runs fine on my Win 7 Pro, so see no reason it shouldnt on premium. Google anything and you find yes and nos. Of course, your hardware needs to be up to spec, and you havent posted it, so as far a sOS goes, I see no reason for it not to work.

If the presario in your specs is your computer,
you need more memory and a better video card.
You didn't list the processor.

Firstly, try being less rude. It helps a lot. Secondly, well done on getting a new computer. Now if you actually tell us what the spec is, we might be able to give a decent answer. Once we get over these 2 obvious stumbling blocks, I am sure things will resolve to a good conclusion.

Sorry for being rude.

Well I did make a post a couple of days ago showing the specs of the new computer I am getting, but there's been a change of plans.

The computer is out of stock so I've got another choice.
Would this computer with it's specs be able to run Fallout 3?

HP Pavilion e9280t Desktop
Intel Core i7 Processor
1GB ATI Radeon HD 4650
9GB RAM
1TB Hard drive
Windows 7 Home Premium

I didn't take it as being too rude.
Just pointed out that I hadn't read the post properly.

Yay. So do you know anything about whether the specs of the computer above will be able to run Fallout 3?

can give you info on that.
