Whats better for gaming Vista or Win 7?

Soon i am getting my new rig and i can chose between Vista Ultimate 64bit sp2 or Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Which one is better for gaming and do all the programs work on it that work on Vista?

Well I believe everything will eventually be Windows 7 so I would go with it... right now not alot of drivers etc. for it but they will be coming. I read that it doesn't use as many resources as vista and runs faster. I am using Vista 64 bit but wont be changing for sometime because of money and Vista is working great for me.

Right now Win 7 is better for gaming since it uses less and manages resources better. Also Vista drivers work with it without any issues. Once you get Win 7 you just can't go back to Vista.

This is true.

7 doesn't hog my RAM and has a surprisingly good compatability with previous software.

How much memory does windows 7 take up..Vista takes a huge chunk out of your hd..Any one tell me if it be worth the upgrade..Its only like a 120 for the upgrade from windows vista from what im reading...

If memory serves me right 7 Pro took up around 20-30 GB, bout the same as Vista or less.

Wow, maybe a sticky should be created for best gaming os. I don't know.

For me its Win 7.

I hear Windows 7, but I'm sticking with XP until I find a way to try it out myself.KHAndAnime
