I think the two games with the most system intensive graphics are:

-Flight Simulator X

-Oblivion

I think most people who have a problem with Mafia, did not get that it was more of a simulation than just a shooter/action game. I mean the cars did not drive or break that well cause cars of that era probably behaved that way, other things like reloading would make you loose the remainder of bullets in the previous magazine,  and the enforced speed limit and other traffic laws, I think just added to the emergence factor. sad thing that there would be no sequel.

Love that game, it is definitely on my top ten list. I do not think any other game was able to capture the atmosphere of the era like Mafia, I mean the music, the building design, wordrobe, the cars ....

It is not the point. The point is, those benchmarks show that Vista (in its current state) is clearly behind XP when it comes to gaming performance.

I can't really remember back then when they first introduced XP was it slower than the previous OS? It is just weird that after more than 4 month of the Vista release and God knows how many years in development and testing Vista can't match the performance of XP, and no one has a clear idea when will MS fix the host of problems found in Vista.

I was just about to start shopping for parts for my new rig, and then I heard about this new Bearlake with DDR3 and Penryn support. Are these boards coming soon, any info?
