Hmm, I know games don't run as well with vista, but that's what I have, can I play them with vista?

[AlexMoosh]

Yes, it should handle them fine. And to the above poster: Vista is fine. I'm using Vista Premium and have had ZERO problems.

Yes, plus you get the benefit of DX10.

Lol thanks, I was going to go for the 4 GB but I'm not MADE out of money. :D

Vista's fine, but it uses more of your system (particularly video card memory and RAM) than XP does.

Well I'm talking about the heavy processor intensive games like CRYSIS.

I'm Sure It Will Run games Just Fine! :)

Madferit from levels4you? lol weird seeing u here man.

If its 3 times 1gb sticks it wont be running on dual channel, unless ur on a 2 x 512mb and 2 x 1gb setup.

[jipostus]

I'm not using vista, because i only have 1,7gb ram, and my computer is otherwise crappy... and it runs UT3 somehow though... o_O
exact specs:
- AMD Athlon 64 3500+
- MSI ATI x1600pro 256mb
- 2xKingston 512Mb, 1x512mb, 1x256mb = 1,75gb
- Seagate Barracuda 200Gb(sata-II), 80gb(ide) = 280gb
- Antec Neo-He 430W Power

Motherboard is MSI amethyst-m... crappy, i know... i should update my comp, but it runs F.E.A.R. pretty good, and that's okay to me... i'll update it whenever(if) i get money... (driving school took like... 1400EU (over 2000$) ... -.-' )

You'll never run Crysis decently with that POS graphics card. Buy an 8800gt or an HD3850.

Those are some pretty fucking nice specs. It should run every game that comes out for quite a while, I'd think.

But I agree that you should switch to XP if possible.
