Vista takes more resources and has worse performance than XP.Vista is newer and thus harder to tweak and get support for.Vista is getting patched, and thus often buggy.I just recently reformated to try vista again for the SP1 update and because a friend who recommended it for multiboxing ( DIE TIKO! DIE!) After about 2 weeks of playing around with it I chose to go back to XP. Im a boxer, and need every small amount of performance I can get from my pc, and its a fact that at the current time XP out performs Vista.However, if your willing to spend extra time, surf the web for tweaks and fixes, and dont mind changing things here and there to get things to work its not a horrible operating system...its just not for me.My system specs.AMD 4200 dual core4 gigs of DDR2 800Geforce 8800 GTS 640 meg cardSimply reverting to xp increased my frame rate in game by 25fps.
