[QUOTE="pj_martins, post: 159408"] I did some comparison tests on Windows Vista and Windows XP using an amd x2 dual core processor, 2gb of ram, and an ATI radeon 1550 card and found that their performance are pretty much the same, but slightly slower on vista. So yeah if you want to upgrade your hardware to run on vista, upgrade your hardware but stick with xp and get that extra few frames per seconds. Or you always have the option of dual boot. Games I tested: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six - Vegas EA Sports Rugby 2008 Brian Lara Cricket 2007 Hitman - Blood Money Splinter Cell - Double Agent Enemy Territory Quake Wars Need For Speed Carbon Toca Race driver 3 Test Drive Unlimited Driver Parallel Lines Halo 2 (needs to be patched to run on XP). Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow of Chernobyl From this list, the only two games which had significant differences on vista and xp was NFS Carbon and Driver Parallel Lines. NFS Carbon: On vista it had a lot of stuttering throughout the game which made it quite irritating. Driver Parallel Lines: This game actually had stuttering when running on xp and ran more smoothly on vista, so out of the list this, was the only game which actually ran better on vista. This game is merely a clone of Grand Theft Auto though. [/QUOTE]
