Vista or XP ??????!!?

Question

I am a gamer, I use my PC for gaming surfing the Internet (online play).

I've got a good video card (8800gt) core2duo.

I play pretty demanding games, i.e dx.10 (such as Crysis, COD4...)

Which windows do you recommend I install, vista or stay with Xp sp2

- RAM 2GB, processor - 2.5 GHz

Answer 1

Vista hands down

It is the OS that M$ is fully supporting

Answer 2

Without any Doubt go for Vista Ultimate. Unmatched features, quality and securities. Do not read here and there about silly things that Vista Sucks or have Bugs etc etc. There might be some, but not for normal people like us. 99.9% are rumors. I am using Vista Ultimate since past 10 Months after using XP for around 3-4 years. And tell you I am very happy and thankful to Microsoft for this product.

Otherwise, along OS you need to increase RAM also as 2GB seems to be a bit low to me.

Hope This will Help you a Bit :)

Answer 3

Uhh, you can't play DX.10 games on XP. It's only supported by Vista. So get Vista Home Premium.

Answer 4

Stay with XP, vista still has alot of bugs to work out; wants your permission for everything which interrupts what you are doing and sucks up the cpu's resources.  

Answer 5

XP SP2 and Vista are at the same level actually, see this:

and the DX 10 thing.... get XP SP3 update... DX10 will run and so will DX10 games
