I'm doing a new rig next week and my old copy of winxp is shwoing it's age.
The system i'm getting is:
AMD AM2 Athlon 64 5000+ Windsor Core, Dual Core 2.6GHz, 2x 512KB Cache
Abit KN9 Ultra, NF MCP55-Ultra, S AM2, PCI-E (x16), DDR2 800, SATA II, SATA RAID, ATX
2GB (2x1GB) CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800), 240 Pins, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 4-4-4-12, EPP
620W Corsair HX V2 Series Modular SLi PSU, ATX, EPS 12V, whisper quiet, 5 year warranty
Already have sata hardrive, 8600gs card etc.
I'll be gaming more often than not, BF2142, CS:S, MOH:SH,
And then Crysis, MOH:Airborne when they come out.
So with the above system, should i possibly seriously think about investing in vista? I know i'll get the full benefits of DX10, but is even that worth it?
Cheers in advance
PS: I have to admit that paying anything to "The Man" makes my skin crawl like it's covered in tax inspectors after every penny, so i'm loathe to even consider having it, but if needs must....

might just stick with XP for now then as i'm not really liking what i've seen and heard about vista. Taken em this long to get a semi decent OS running with XP so gods know how long for vista!



all the speed of XP when you want it, and the ability to run DX10 stuff on Vista, also means stuff is easy to fix if one of them goes wrong
