Vista Ultimate 32-bit or stay with XP Pro SP2??

Going with one of the distros of Linux X64 just for S&G, it's free after all. Oh, one other thing, XP Pro on a second HD just for gaming...........

Vista is prettier.
But it comes at a price.
Gobbles up RAM and other hardware like it was nothing.

You can see my configuration in my sig.
I didn't have much choice in getting it so that I could support the new machines coming out.
XP on this machine runs faster than a ... (insert your favorite "fast" cliché here)
Visa on the other hand .... well, it's pretty.

I haven't had a great amount of problems with it. Just a glitch here and there.
Driver and software support is the biggest drawback at the moment. (And hardware requirements)

But hey .... it's pretty.

i laughed "pretty" hard on that ending note xD

Having gone for vista on my system i would say go with XP..

At the moment there is little benefit to having vista in my opinion.. maybe at some point in future it will be worth it but for the moment no..

I should of course mention that i have had to reset my bios on my then one occassion when a vista automatic update failed... not to mention that for some reason I have to keep restarting the licencing on my PC.. I have a completely legitimate copy of vista and i have no bloody clue why i have to do this..
