Don't buy Vista, quite a few have gone back to XP. Use a trail version and see what you think of it (driver/hardware support and general games performance)
Vista requires more higher spec hardware, mostly on the CPU but also graphics. Unless you disable Aero.
Errrr there is no trial version of Vista...Don't buy Vista, quite a few have gone back to XP. Use a trail version and see what you think of it (driver/hardware support and general games performance)

Source?You get higher framerates with XP, upto 15% in some cases.

OK you can't get all the flashy transparency effects, but I have skinned my XP with styleXP and it still looks quite slick (imo ). And it uses no extra ram!XP doesn't, and whilst it might not be the best technically, you probably wouldn't notice any difference other than visually.

Sure there is a 30 day trial period, after you buy the software - you can chose not to enter the product key. And Vista will run for 30 days in trial mode*. At the end of the trial mode you can either enter the product and activate and contine using Vista, or you can re-install XP.
*It is possible to extend the trial period to 90 days.
