I'm looking at getting a windows OS (under BootCamp) for running Microsoft Flight Simulator (2004 and hopefully FSX), and also I fancy running the new Brothers in Arms (Hell's Highway) game too, plus perhaps one or two others that have not been released yet.

I gather that XP will support up to DX9, whereas Vista will support DX10 and beyond.

This being so, it looks like I will have to balance system performance (as I gather Vista is resource-hungry) with a degree of future proofing.

The spec I am looking at is the 2.8GHZ 24" iMac.

Question - XP or Vista (or both - can both be installed?)
