I've been able to sucessfully run KoTOR and AOM with the expansion on Vista with no problems. I haven't played Republic Commando on it though.

I believe even if I had mentioned about Windows Vista it would've said "Longhorn compatible". :D

I could play Star Wars: Republic Commando on Vista, but it always crashed on XP (I have an 8800 and this is a known problem).

It means the game runs on the Windows version available at the time of release (2K/XP). You can't make a game so that it runs for sure on an operating system that is not out yet. Most games will, but poorly programmed games, like those that already had trouble running on a system at that time (like KoToR) are less likely to work on a new OS.

i have vista and can run all the games i have on it (including all source games, FEAR, WOW, RE4, BF2142) with just 1gb RAM. i recently upgraded to 3GB RAM, and i gotta tell ya, only upgrade to vista if you have at least 1.5gb RAM. i only upgraded cuz at the time i had no money, was out of virus protection, and vista was new with few viruses. :D

also, **DO NOT** run the games in compatibility mode. you will be sorry if you do.
