should i switch to Vista?

my advice to you save 200$ and keep your XP up to date.

 

As Vista is nothing else but a finer layout of XP, as said while being a game nut you will require more Memory (RAM) as most of the small procedures and programs of Vista itself take much of the Free space of your memory so while playing a game that requires more of hardware, then you will find the experience very boring.

 

If you are not a gamer and just use PC for daily works and other small user and have some extra money that you want to spoil then go for it.

 

I have a system of:

 

Intel 2.0 Ghz Dual Core

1 GB Kingston Ram

320 GB Segate SATA 2 Harddisk

256 MB Nvidia Geforce 7600 GS SLi Graphic Card

 

and still face problems while playing games such as MTW, RTW, RoN Rise of Legends and some other games.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friend of mine swears by Linux and it all looks better than windows (then again what isn't?) but the main problem I can see with it is the need to have to always download linux versions of app's cause most things are only made for windows and mac.

If knowing all the negative points of Vista and you are still interested to have a taste of it why don't you try a transformer.

 

Here is one which will make your XP look just like a Vista while the Kernal running still would be of XP, all the looks and GUI of Vista would be achieved.

 

This is how your Vista will look after the installation of the transformer.
