Shoud I Get Xp Or Vista

[Cromulent]

Vista Business can also use all 8.

True, but the OEM version of Ultimate is not much more so I would say go for that.

As stated - if you want to play all older games; you'll need/want XP - if you want to play newer games; you'll need Vista. You may have luck with Vista's "Compatibility Mode".

The decision of which will depend on what era games you will be playing.

Note that M$ is dropping support for XP soon too! - so 😕

actually, Microsoft won't drop support for XP until 2011 or 2012, I forget which one, but it's no time zune.

I stuck with my old buddy XP!

Hey guys. I tested FS2004 on Vista at a store and it worked great. I tried playing FAR CRY and it wouldn't run🙁 So i decided to go with my longtime buddy WINDOWS XP SP2. The seller also told me that XP is more reliable so I stuck with it. When Vista becomes madatory then it will only cost like 100$ for the upgrade. I'll post pics of FS2004 and Crysis when i get the the new Mac Pro!🙂🙂

Vista is a decent operating system, but still has a few miles to go before I'll adopt it. I work with clients day in and day out with both Vista and XP and solve all sorts of issues related to gaming or just simple basic multi-tasking.

I do see hope for the latest OS, perhaps in the next 3 or 4 months, and know Vista will be required for some gaming platforms... but not yet. For now.. i'm sticking with XP.

In order to use all the cores in your machine you need either XP Pro or Vista Ultimate.

Or Vista Business.
