    So I've seen some articles here with people using vista. How is it in your opinion guys?

    I got a free retail version of Vista Ultimate from a microsoft rep that came to my college for a seminar and there was only one copy. (Lol!)
    I'm also almost finished building my new system with all the best bells and whistles for DX10. Is it good enough to just have a vista install or
    is it better to dual boot with XP?

    Anyway, has anyone installed the 64bit one? any noticeable performance increases and etc?

    It is worth trying but if you must have it , do a clean install . Come to your conclusions as I used a early RTM , I'll wait then try again .

    Well I meant formatting my hard drive and doing a clean install of XP and Vista to dual boot. Only if necessary though.

    It's got it's pros and cons, just make sure you have proper drivers available for all your hardware and whatnot. Right now I'm getting sound out of one speaker only which is getting annoying as fuck!!

    I installed a barebones vista release to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R., all the new stuff like Aero was disabled, but it didn't seem very special.
    I miss the days of random nut '03
    Click for more activation options, then activate by telephone. Run the keygen.
    if I call them, aren't they going to get me? (you know, down there)
