Being a Dell you payed what 4-5 grand for that?

I have the same system, except 1 gig less Ram and XP Pro and i spent $1500. It's all in the name dude.

Gotta agree. No complaints about Vista so far. I've been using it for about 6 months.

The only problem Vista really has is performance with games.

Take for instance an older FPS called Planetside. With my older computer i was getting max 60 FPS when i was by myself, several hundered people and my FPS dropped to around 10. With my new comp i can putt roughly 650 FPS by myself and still over 200 with alot of people.

Now my buddy has roughly the same system i have except maybe a different case and motherboard. Same CPU, same ammount of RAM, same graphics card except the maker, i have onboard sound cus i'm too lazy to install my soundcard, he has a Creative Labs card and he uses Vista.

The difference in game performance is staggering as his max FPS was roughly 150.

Yes he has DX10 and i have 9 but my games run better on XP pro then his on Vista.

So if your a gamer avoid Vista for about a year and stick with XP pro.

He actually paid around 2500 for it if I am not mistaken.

Vista does suck something special, especially for gaming rigs.

The Best game by far for Vista right now is Crysis..Un***believable...Crysis addict...

Vista has its qwerks like XP had its qwerks...I have had no problems with Vista Ultimate on my personal box.

With 3 gigs of ram you should be well above fine. Vista runs into problems with less then 1.5 Ram gaming wise.

Your PC will look like this if you play Crysis. Since you have vista and the nvidia 8800 you are DX10 capable.
