Windows Vista Gaming
Microsoft's new flagship operating system, Windows Vista, seems to have all it's little bugs worked out. However, this is most certainly not the case concerning third-party drivers. Both Nvidia and AMD have released their first Vista graphics card drivers. When gaming benchmarks were run the overall results turned out to run worse than XP. It should be noted that the games benchmarked are optimized for a 32-bit operating system. So the 64-bit environment created by the more costly versions of Vista were unable to make use of their most important feature. Because of this factor, gamers in particular should hold off on purchasing a copy of Vista until all 32-bit programs have had time to adapt to a 64-bit environment.
Based on these results when do you plan on upgrading to Vista?

I dunno, if that is the case, I will wait 'til the gamez are upgraded to handle 64 bit OS'es.
Well none of the "old" games (ones we're playing now) are going to find their way into taking advantage of a 64-bit OS. So any of the games you're talking about are games that don't even exist yet :\ So it may be a while before any good games come out that we want to play which will also take advantage of the new 64-bit architecture. Fun...more waiting. :P
joy, as if we didn't have to wait for enough stuff (R600) and whatever else you want
That's not the worst of it; you know how Half-Life 2 Episode 2 was supposed to be released last Holiday Season? Yeah well now it's slated for this Fall; lol
I hate that how they have delayed every single game they put out in that series..........
Odd I thought Half-Life 2 Episode 1 came out on time. lol, shows how much I actually end up caring about a late release date.
Hehehe, loads of attention you give to gamez.
