I've held off going to Vista as i'm a moderate gamer when I get time and like my performance.
I've helf off upgrading mainly because i've heard bad bad bad stuff and I wanted to wait until SP1 got released to see what the general feel of it is like from other gamers POV.
All I ever do is with the following:
Internet using Opera
Email using Thunderbird
Adobe photoshop CS2 for my photography
Open office for my documents
I use Kaspersky Internet Secuity 7 for my security
Diskeeper 10 pro
Nero 6 suite
And GAMING - mostly Steam and nothing dx10...yet...it will be after I switch
I'm in a home network with a file server, media centre, and other pc's.
My PC can handle vista:
X2 5600+ on a M57-S4 nforce mobo
2GB ballistic DDR2-800 (CL3)
nv 8800GTS (320)
2x320GB WD RE Sata2 (Raid0)
* note that I would grab more of the same ram if I upgraded, even if it's not fully utilised.
For what I do with the above which version would you recommend, or should stay with XP pro, and why?
Thanks
