[QUOTE="edguybglover"]ok so im partly building a comp and it has all the stuff i need to make a good gaming and video watching etc computer. what i wanna know is sp3 good? im currently on vista on my laptop and idk i kinda miss xp.... it was better imo. but vista does have goodness. what i wanna know is sp3 good?SEANMCAD

currently in the gaming market you can not buy a video game that works only on DirectX 5.

If you stay with XP you will not be able to use DirectX 10.

Can you predict the future given my statements above?

Thats why in my post below i said id dual boot :P

not basically a new comp as i said im kinda building. whats happening is my friend is giving me his pc as the hd broke and he wants a new one anyway. all i need to do is get a new hd and install an os and im good to go. and why do people still use xp when vista is out? cause some ppl loved xp
