Get Vista?

I'm getting a boxed gaming computer that will have Vista. Should I downgrade it back to XP? When Vista is fully optional can I upgrade it back to Vista?

Btw is Vista good for games that are played on XP when I have a 8800 GTS/GTX?

U might want to check out nVidia latest driver as I heard that they have a bit of a problem for 8800 series gcard in Vista.
Oh, bythe way, if you want to play games on Vista, i recommend you take at least 2GB of ram. I use vista. At idle, they take up about 524MB of ram, at IDLE. So when you load up the antivirus, antispyware, widgets, etc.. it wont left much for your games... just a thought.

Take into consideration the version of vista you are using too. Get the 64-bit version if your cpu support it. Of course its a no brainer that getting Vista Ultimate edition is every gamers dream. Mine is only the Home Premium at home and Business at office. 

oh, dont worry about the dual boot thing. I got the dual boot setup at home. (3 boot actually if u count my PCLinuxOS)
So far it works fine. I dual/triple boot it with Windows XP Pro, PCLinuxOS, Vista Home Premium, but all from different partition of course...

Yes that is very annoying, XP hardly ever did that.  Otherwise I have Vista Ultimate and it's fine for me, although as far as gaming's concerned I have a GeForce 6200LE Turbocache, an Athlon 64 4000+ and 2GB of Ram not the best solution, although hoping to get an 8800GTX soon.
