Hello everyone
A qestion came to me tht day , logically XP is much better then vista when it comes to gamers cuaz vista needs more ram and a little more of the procecsor and Gfx , unless you have a C2D Quad ,4 Gigs of 1066mhz ram and a high end GFx u wont notice the diffrence , i kinda pushed it didnt i with a quad a 4 gigs lol thats 2 much , but u get the picture like ive got :-
C2D e4500 2.2 /800/2mb cache
dq31pr
1 GIG of 512x2 corsair ram /667 mhz dual
saegate baracuda
ati x1550
well with a mid range system like this i know i will feel the diffrence especially coz ive only got a gig of ram i know that vista dosent take more the 348 or 443 mb of ram but 1 gig isnt enough , too bad my mobo has only 2 slots , Getting 2 the point so is XP or Vista better mainly when it comes 2 gaming. thx

the only thing vista has that xp doesn't is directX11, and some games do require that.

I've found XP to be far less annoying than Vista and I've never actually used Vista. I've only watched others use it (and that's enough for me).

I would have to agree on that fact, for a computer with those specs, XP would definitely be the way to go.
You would probably find that if you wish to continue palying recently released games you would want to update the amount of ram that you have in your computer (I have a Q6600 w/ 4Gb RAM). Also the way technology is dropping in price, it is ridiculously cheap to buy more ram.
(XP has less issues with drivers as well)

But then again, I'd recommend vista if you have better specs.

Ill say xp cos youll find after a while that vista is a pain in the bud due to several reasons. I think microsoft realised it cos why is the next OS coming out so soon after the vista release. lets just hope that windows 7 will give us something thats worth calling an upgrade.
