    I've heard that Vista won't let you change your parts because microsoft doesn't want people whining to them about problems when their parts are changed or something.. is that true? I've been holding back because of that reason.

    That sounds ridiculous, tbh

    However, I expect Vista has the same security as XP, such that if your hardware is changed significantly, it will required you to reactivate your copy of windows, because it deems that you essentially have a "new" computer

    If you have XP installed then I would wait a few years ...

    Vista should take some time to settle. Better wait some six months

    So I have a copy of Vista and it's primary purpose is to play games (it's a special stripped down version).

    Do you think more PC games that are coming out will want you to have 32 bit or 64 bit Vista OS running?

    Also, just wondering if anyone knew what most store Vista PC's (retail at places like Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.) are loaded with; 32 or 64 bit versions?
    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)

    I dont think it really makes a big difference in relation to 32 bit vs 64 bit but most of them would probably be loaded with 64 bit considering most CPU's out in the last year or so have been 64 bit.

    What I will say is WAIT.. without a doubt WAIT.

    Vista right now is incredibly unstable, it works badly with games and a lot of programs and it has patchy support for hardware.

    There are no real compelling DX10 related reasons till around September this year to upgrade to Vista so just wait till its more stable.

    Right now I wouldnt even download Vista for free.
