Reason I'm making this thread is that I'm getting a new system this week, and I'm considering running games on DX10, and I know games like Crysis have a patch which allows them to run DX10 under XP. The reason I stayed XP for this long is that Vista doesn't have all the hardware drivers compatible and I hear people were having problems, and some still do.
So is it worth changing the OS just to play games on DX 10 high setting or is it not much of a difference? I plan on getting Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit ($174 USD), I just think Home Edition is just not worth the money.
I know Vista is better at least theoretically, but until its all ironed out and fixed XP will be better, since most software was developed specifically for XP. So guys post your opinions Vista or XP. And hows SP1 did it fix much?
