Re: Windows Vista

the only down side i've seen so far is that the fancy aero/glass graphics require at least 256mb of video memory to really shine. also it may be the only OS that actually requires a decent 3D card to support any of the advanced visual features of the GUI..

Re: Windows Vista

I thought Vista was going to be strictly 64 bit? Eh, I guess they have to be considerate to those who don't have 64 bit processors. *Laughs*

There's going to be 7 version of Vista. YAY DX10. I'm saving for an 8800 already.

Re: Windows Vista

i've seen reports that 32 and 64bit versions are included on the same disk and the installation with detect which version to install

Re: Windows Vista

the word is the install disc is supposed to have all the versions for your region and you can upgrade to any other version for a nominal fee [say another $99] at any time.

Re: Windows Vista

its gonna be a real ***** for halo2 to only come out on vista. obviously microsoft are feeling right mean just now. hope they reconsider.

btw, with sleeker visuals, surely vista will hog resources like anything?
