How many Vista users here? - Page 2

Removed the bias, added options.

Vista btw, and it's working alright now for some reason. At one point, PR was unplayable, then a week later it worked fine.

Windows Vista Ultimate 32. Works all fine to me. To me Ultimate is the same as XP i mean it only looks a little different the windows have a other color and so does the taskbar but everything else is just the same.. well, almost..

Vista ultimate 64 bit here. No problem with PR whatsoever, apart from Random CTDs every no and again. Have had very little problems, its my first own SO install and I prefer it over xp, also 4GB of RAM able to fully use is great.

I have a hard time believing there is no preformance penalty with Vista, as it is so much larger than XP. I'm wondering if any of you dual booters have run a benchmark on the same machine to see if there's a difference. WIC Demo has a decent benchmark feature BTW, if you're interested in trying it with a free benchmark.

How many Vista users are running BF2 in XP compatability mode? I am, not sure if I need to.

im sure every1 will see visat in a different light when BF3 comes out nxt year and they are forced to by it to play BF3 . Dx10 only runs on vista!!!

i use a dual boot on a mac, i use leopard 10.5 and Vista Home Premium (add that option?)
I use Vista simply because of the fact that i have a DX10 Card and dont want it to be useless..

Don't know man, I (and a lot of other pleople here) was not the least bit interested in 2142, and PRM is not likely to move to that platform which would be the only reason I'd get it. I'm so sick of EA...

I am nauseated by EA also, but with the advent of dx10 all the game developers are gonna move over- not just EA.

"Upgrade or Die" has always been the reality of pc gaming, and always will be.

But I guess we'll see, it might not be financially viable given the market to move to dx10 yet- since gamers such as youself may want to stick with dx9 for a while longer.

Personally I think its miles ahead of vista, there attempt to bring 3d to the desktop is mediocre at best.

Runs games good as well, Doom 3, ET:QW, EVE Online, Darwinia and Defcon I have as well.

I can run BF2 on GNU/Linux as well but to be honest it doesn't run as well as other games.
