Vista takes a fair bit more customizing to get "how you want" than previous versions of Windows. Although once you've spent the time figuring it out, its superior in most ways. As for driver support, on older hardware it can be a bit flakey, but everything made in the last 6 months or so is pretty decent.
yep, and you'll likely need another 2gb of ram since vista uses 600-1gb all by itself.... which means you need vista 64 bit to use all 4gb of ram.... it's a downward slope....Quote:
So I basically have to put up with Vista?
I use Mac OS X :D
Get Out.Quote:

...no seriously, Get out.
Funny you should ask. My buddy dual-boots into Ubu64 and has been trying for a while to get a team going as well under it using WINE. he's gone through hoops and chutes to make it happen but he's still getting some lousy results. he's no slouch on his comp hardware either as he upgrades about twice a year.Quote:

your running basically the same pc as mine, and i run visat x64, you will be fine, if your running the 2 different monitors like that i would suggest vista definately.
Not trying to start an argument here but I have the first Intel iMac 1.83GHz 2GB Ram and an ATi 1600 128MB VC running Leopard. Not saying this is the best way to go. But I am Trip-Boxing and get right around 30FPS. The only reason not to use Macs is if you don't want to manually start the games. Which I have to admit is a nice feature of WoW Maximizer. The only other prob I have is over lapping game screens because of the 17" monitor, but that is not a problem any more since there is no 17". Just my two cents. Now I think I should try and exit before everyone drops the bomb on me.Quote:
