Is Windows Vista Business Suitable for Gaming?

Well for some reason I can't install XP on my PC so I'm considering installing Vista if I can't get it to work.

The thing is, I only have Vista Business. According to the Microsoft website the only differences between Business and Home Premium are that Business doesn't come with DVD Maker, Movie Maker, and Media Center, none of which I need anyway.

So my question is, would I be able to run games on Vista Business as well as Home Premium? Or are there some sort of compatability issues or something?

Depends how good your rig is now, what are your specs?

2GB DDR2 800MHz

Radeon X1900XT

Core 2 Duo E4500

It will run fine, just make sure you go 32 bit, considering 64 bit has huge compatibility issues.

And why can't you install XP on that system?

Yes Just run in XP compatability mode. Also use 64-bit it uses 100% of your system in stead of 66% in 32-bit

As long as you have enough ram and can live without aero and fancy effects, it will play as good as xp.DopeyDavoid

I would not get 32bit as it limits your ram to 4gb.imprezawrx500

I have 64 bit vista and have never encountered a compatibility issue, go for 64-bit
