People with Vista???

Alright my new parts to my PC are coming in and I guess I want to know if I should dual boot or just make it easier on myself and just get vista. Ive heard that its gotten a lot better and game performance has increased enough to make it worthy of a purchase.

Any help would be great.

I'm using Vista with 1GB DDR2 & a Pentium 4.

Vista is good as XP to me

Oh Vista... I'm using Vista 64-bit and I would recommend it over the 32-bit version. Yea, some people will say that "The drivers aren't mature enough for 64-bit Vista" but the drivers aren't as mature for Vista as they are for XP in general... but they're mature enough...

Well it seems like its getting better. I think ill just install vista ultimate 64-bit.Killfox

why would you pair those with a 8800??

Vista's fine--go for it. If your PC's OK for gaming in the first place, then gaming with Vista won't hurt at all.

Vista's gotten a lot better (to me) just two weeks ago, when MS released their "Performance and Compatibility" patches. Before that, my PC would give me the BSoD about twice a week, and it always happened when I was trying to access a network (such as print off a shared printer or play a movie off the server). I always thought that my mobo's NIC wasn't fully compatible with Vista. After installing the performance and stability updates, though, I stopped getting those BSoDs and various other error messages.

So, if you get Vista, you'll want to download these Performance and Compatibilityupdates off the MS website (it doesn't come through automatic updates because validation is required).

I want to see how well this game performs in DX10. Im still on the fence with HD 2900XT and the 8800GTX. I have a feeling that the Hd 2900XT is more geared towards DX10 than DX9. Even though with the newest drivers performance has gotten better.
