[SOLVED] Getting new PC – choosing between XP and Vista.
August 4th, 2016
As I am getting me a new PC:
CPU: AMD Phenom� II X4 940 Quad-Core CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology ***Overclockable XXX***
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M3N72-D NF750a HYBRID SLI Chipset DDR2/1066 SATA PCI-Express MBoard w/GbLAN,USB2.0,&7.1Audio
MEMORY: (Req.DDR2 MainBoard)4GB (2x2GB) PC8500 DDR2/1066Mhz Dual Chan Memory
VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce GTX260 896MB 16X PCI Express
Which should play all the latest games without breaking a sweat, I am deciding if I should get Vista or stick with XP Pro. Now I am looking at it from a Gaming side of view. On the one hand we have DirectX 10 available with Vista (thinking about it, I hope this GFX Card supports DirectX 10, otherwise I am barking up a wrong tree…). On the other hand, I heard in the past that Vista has some issues running a lot of software and some games (not sure if it�s the old ones or any games.)
Could someone please tell me which is better for Gamers?
Thank you
In my opinion you should stay with xp and wait for windows 7 to go officially out and then switch to it
You can get drivers for Windows 7 for that card

I as well suggest you stick with XP till windows 7 is out. xp is currently still the best for most games that don’t need directX10, but that might change with windows 7 & directX11(if I read correctly on those articles at least)
wait for win 7 mate.. it’s really much faster than vista..
in the mean time u can use win XP..
XP SP3 or Win 7 Build 7100 RC
wow, thanks to everyone. I’ll stick with XP Pro.
While we are on this subject, which is the best XP Pro to download? I know there are several uploads is there a difference between them, or will either one of them do?
XP SP3
