nonsense ... Vista performance has been equal to XPs for
over 6 months
i'd pick Vista 32 over Vista 64 unless you have brand-new HW and SW
- it appears to make no difference in a 4GB RAM rig for gaming [yet]
This man wins. They're pretty much the same gaming wise.
That said - DX10 doesn't do a damn thing currently, so that's no reason to switch.
Also, considering Vista's draconian DRM and User Accounts implementations, I would say usability suffered some on the new OS.
Driver support isn't as well rounded as XP yet.
There's no real reason
not to go to Vista right now, but there's no real reason
to do so either, if you're already established on something else.
I'm happy with my XP x32 config right now - I've got it tweaked out and configured the way I like, it's nice n' snappy and it doesn't give me any trouble. I'll probably make the jump to Vista in a year or 18 months or so when I do a new rig build, but until then I see no reason to, especially with XP SP3 on the way.
