This game of course is not revolutionary, but GSC Game World has produced a good game that was not really meant or geared towards Vista. I have Vista Ultimate 64bit edition and I cannot even get going after the first check point without it locking up on me. I have the guts to run anything and my 3dsMark06 score of 15482 shows I have a stable machine. My engine is 680i montherboard with 4GB of XMS2 ram and 2 8800GTS video cards in SLI mode. I love the look and feel of this game and would like it even more if it liked vista. Or maybe Vista like it,lol. Non the less WIndows Vista Ultimate 64bit and STALKER do not mix. Hopefully a patch will be released to address this, then again maybe not since 64bit is not mainstream just yet. Though it should be since it handles higher GB of ram then 32bit OS's.
