    Is it worth it for gaming? I have Windows XP Media Center Edition and 2G of ram with an 8800GTS card, is it worth getting vista right now or should I wait until more driver support and more ram?

    I have it. Umm well I have 2 gigs, media center and a 7900 GS 265 pci - e. I have not tried the New games yet. But if you've ever played RTCW or Enemy Territory... Well, My fps were twice as much with an 9600GT and half the ram and processor. There is still punkbuster isssues to worry about. Sometimes in game my fps drop to 10 -15 fps and the game skips. To be honest.. I would have waited to get it. Yeah it's "cooler" looking. But I don't use all of it's components. I just do very little Photoshop and play games. Hope this helps you.
