    ok, im going to by a used 8600 256mb geforce 2day, i dont think i will need higher cuz my monitor is only 17inch. so will that be enough or do i need 600+ mb one? and the main question, i know its best to get dx 10 once i get it, and that would mean vista. i have one dl'd, the best version - it would mean i would have to burn much stuff onto dvds to not lose it, but do i go vista or stay xp pro?


    also does dx10 backtrack? say i play dx9 games still will they work on vista and dx10?

    there is no incentive to switching to vista right now. your computer will run faster with xp, and there is nothing that requires vista yet.

    stick with xp, vista is buggy, and filled with shit to waste your life.

    There are also reports about microsoft allowing the government to go into your computers through vista.

    ^^^But that could be just random bull I have read.

    Vista in a few words.

    DRM bullshit

    Bloated

    MS scratching Intels back

    Cheap slow graphics engine.

    Don't do it. Its not smart. Vista is a HORRIBLE operating system, though I heard the SP1 pack theyre releasing does some good.

    I have a BFG overclocked 8600 GTS, and it's great no complaints whatsoever so far

    as for upgrading i dont think it's worth it simply for DX10, most games dont even utilize it yet, and from what i've heard the ones that do are nothing special anyways
