Vista or XP for Gaming?

Question

Hey Guys,

I just need an opinion from others when it comes to Windows OS's... I'm a hardcore gamer who plays games like Crysis, Company of Heroes, WoW, World in Conflict and i have a great system... Should i buy Vista Ultimate to take advantage of DirectX10 or should i stick with Vista to keep up my RAM

My System Specs:

CPU: AMD Athlon x2 5000 Black Edition 2.60GHz

Memory: 3GB RAM at 667MHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT with 512 MB of Video Memory

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Crysis runs best on Dx10, and a lot of newer, upcoming games will soon only be Dx10 exclusive.
