Now it's my turn...

Yeah, what's the point of spending £60 now on XP, and then another £85 on Vista later? Just get Vista now and be done with it.

no... Don't go for vista. It's one huge headache for no visible bonus. Half th games you love on XP require excessive tweaking or just will not play, and if they do some features refuse to work. I am hating vista at the moment. It's totally not worth it dude.

Pretty please stfu when you dont have the slightest clue what your talking about kthnx?

cba to be drawn into another vista xp debate, vista with sp1 is a far more powerful and stable o/s than any release of XP ever was and will be.

SP2 for vista is to be released this month as well.


RAID 0 with Vista and 4gb of ram is just lush, Ive got 2 raptors on it atm but still normal sata2 hdd's in RAID 0 will give your the most notcieble performance in O/S response/Game load/Game stuttering(not fps issues)/Game response.

It's as simple as pie to setup and maintain and costs barely anything and vista was optimized for systems with 2gb of ram+ and loves raid 0 on the indexing side of things. Just because it needs 2gb of ram to function as it should doesnt mean it's eating things its just pre loading stuff that you might use and doing defragment's and other optimization and stability tasks in the background.

Completely agree. It's a shame that most of the improvements with Vista are under the bonnet, so the average user doesn't even know they're there. DK Head, you clearly don't know what you're talking about, it obviously isn't as bad as you say. Care to name a few games that require excessive tweaking or just will not work? I've never had a problem with Vista that I haven't solved rather easily and i've owned it for over a year.
