XP is going to be your friend if you want to game. Now what is always nice with Vista is the dual booting option you have. You can run both OS's and switch from one to the other depending on what you want to do. However, I have had the same problem with Vista, certain games don't run very well while others are great. Give Vista a couple months and new drivers will come out and everything will be ship shape :) I hope

XP is a far better choice currently. In the current condition Vista, even 64 bit version which runs faster than the 32 bit version, will run slower than XP (32 bit) on identical hardware. Not the situation you want for gaming. With a lot of patching Vista may become superior, but as of now stay away from it and stick with XP.

If you value your FPS...  forget vista.  Go XP and trim your processes to a minimum

I'm going to be building a new comp soon and when I do, I'm going to stick to XP. I'll upgrade to Vista when they patch it up and make it compatible with most games. I'm just leary about problems with Vista which could take a while to patch.
