Vista is very nice ( Ultimate Version ). If you are looking forward to buying vista, Buy the upgrade.. It's the Full Version, just upgrades your current windows to vista. Watchtower, Very game friendly, you can Alt Esc out, and you can run programs normal, instead of waiting 15-20 seconds from coming up, like teamspeak, Yahoo, Internet even joystick profilers.

Cool. My only issue with ALT Esc was when you came back to the game the top half of your screen is afu. Good to hear about Vista, Im looking to upgrading my game PC (this year) if the funds allow. LOL Im running less than a third of what your PC is listing.

Lol, Yeah. I want to get another GB of Crossair memory. Everything else is good, I have 2 PCI Express SLI Video cards ( Nvidia ). So it's a pretty good PC.

I cant stand Vista. just to open the address history, you have to allow it three times. Everything is required to ask if it is to be allowed. You go into control panel and do one thing and u are asked to allow it. Its a resorce hungry OS and is hardly worth the trouble. Maybe after a service pack and or two and 50-100 patches are made, it may be OK. Use Suse Linux, its better

Tried it about 3 or 4 yrs ago. If Linux would run most of the windows programs I would us it. The last version I tried was 8.1 personal, maybe the newer ones are more compatible and I don't think any one ever got C4 to run under Linux. BuddyDog used to have our TS2 running on a linux server I think it went down once in 2 yrs, no reseting server, nothing just kept on kicking.
