Lately, I have been debating over if I should get a new phone or upgrade my PC. Both have their merits and fun values. The phone upgrade really isn't necessary due to the fact that my current handset can do everything I want it to. I questioned the PC upgrade as I have been moving my gaming more and more to the XBox360, even the shooters. Yea,

Re: Vista & Hardware

[gabriel75]

I will likely only make the move to Vista if either 1) XP Pro barfs at the new hardware for some reason, which I have seen it do on occassion. Or 2) I want to make the move to 64-bit computing. Which considering this will be mostly a gaming rig, I doubt I will make the move to 64-bit unless it is necessary as so far it offers absolutely no advantage to performance. And in some cases will perform slower than the 32-bit counterpart just due to the nature of running non-native code. But with only 4gig of ram, the move to Vista would be rather moot since the extra bloat that 64-bit processing takes up in memory would basically neutralize the benefits anyway
