NEW Operating System Needed!

personally i'll use Linux if all gameswill run on it (BTW Linux looks better and works better than Vista)

damn MS and their Games for Windows (Crysis and more included)

You can turn all the Aero stuff off in Vista and make it look almost like Win2K. Im sure it would help with game performance. Greyskies87

But some very good games like Doom3 were also available for Mac systems.

Linux can actually look exactly any way you want it to. ;)

I haven't tried it myself for games - I play Windows games in Windows - but Wine or Cedega supposedly plays a lot of Windows games. You might want to check it out.

I don't know what's going to happen now with DX10 and Games for Windows, but it doesn't look good.

yep its true you can get alot of the windows games to run just fine under linux. im sure in time they will have a solution for DX10 games. you know alot of the DX10 only games run fine under DX9 they are just marketing them and putting a little bit of code that only lets them run on windows. but several people have already cracked this and have gotten them to run fine under XP and Linux. it was just yet another scam by micorsoft to push there new OS on to consumers.

Oh OK. I didn't know that. I might go back to using GNU/Linux as my only OS in a near future then - for the past year or so I've been using both Debian and Windows XP.

theres always macs and linux

Exactly. Vista doesn't actually make games slower if you don't have much running in the background. General_Gustaf

With 350-400 MB of RAM being in constant use by the system, even with every stoppable service being shut down, Vista is a real hog at the moment. But 128 MB of RAM seemed pretty steep in 2001-2002 as well, so I guess we'll manage in time.
