hi all, not exactly an original question i know, but here goes.
I'm finally upgrading my computer a little
I have just got another 2GB RAM (4GB now), a new case (NZXT Alpha) and a Sapphire HD4850 512MB GDDR3 with dual slot cooler. My CPU i think is more than good enough for gaming, not exactly the latest i know, but it is a 3.0GHz core2duo so should be ok for gaming (on a budget)
As we all know, windows XP doesn't have support for DX10, so would it be worth switching to windows vista for direct X 10? or should i just stick with XP. The last time i installed Vista was on a P4 3.0GHz, 1GB DDR, GeForce 6600 128MB about a year ago and i wasn't impressed, but i am aware that Vista has come a long way since then with SP1.etc
And if i should go with Vista, would it be best sticking with the X86 version (i know i will loose 512MB) or go 64bit?
