As of now... XP or Vista?

Is Vista's gaming performance still subpar to XP? NO, THIS HAS BEEN SETTLED FOR A WHILE, VISTA IS NOW ON PAR WITH XP AND YOU GET DX10.

Am I better of using 32bit or 64bit?  YOU GOT A 64 BIT CPU, MINE AS WELL USE IT, GO WITH 64.

Will 2GB of ram suffice, and will 4GB of ram even make a difference when gaming?  2 GB IS MINIMUM, GO WITH 4 GB, RAM IS CHEAP THESE DAYS.

XFX 680i LT

No BSOD and it only crashes during games, it must have something to do with playing it on my big tv because if I run in windowed mode say 1600x1200 then it seems fine :cry: the GPU temp is fine so it can't be heat

600w PSU so not that either :P I did suspect it could be my RAM but memtest cleared that one up, maybe it's the graphics card RAM? Is there a program that specifically test this?

Apart from this issue though (which I'll continue to blame nvidia for lol) Vista is much better than XP as I'm running 64-bit and XP64 had terrible support for it :)

I had a 780i mobo, and it froze for no reason while gaming, listening to music and movie, surfing the net, writing e-mail... I suspect the probleme was Nvidia chipset driver or the mobo it self. So ever since I got a intel chipset mobo, it hasn't crash.

Maybe, it's your PSU?

My graphics card needs a combined amp of 24 on the 12v rail mine has a combined amp of 64 so it's got plenty of juice and it's also the newest component on my rig. I'm convinced that this is a driver issue linked to my high resolution as I've pretty much exhausted all other options or the GPU RAM
