 Lets see, I can play Bioshock, Prey, FEAR, STALKER, TF2, Hellgate: London and Oblivion on the max graphics with little to no slow down. Crysis I can do about the second highest graphics with a bit of slow down. The game still looks amazing anyway lol.

The new stuff that is coming out that supports DX10 is starting to get a bit sluggish on my system. DX10 games are insanely good looking. Are you planning to get Vista? Your card supports DX10 but will only work if you have Vista. If you plan to get it, you may wanna just go all out and the the Ultimate edition and install the 64 bit version.

Since you are getting 4 gigs of ram, just know that regular Windows XP can not support more than like 3.5 gigs. The rest will just not be used. Windows XP 64 bit and Vista 64 bit can support more, I forget how much, but it is a lot. The reason I don't really recommend XP 64 is because I had it at one point and it was a pain to find drivers for it. I am currently using Vista 64 and have had no issue finding drivers.

Anyone that tells you Vista is bugged or will drastically slow you down is just being dumb heh. Of course it takes more resources than XP, it has more features. Your computer is more than capable to deal with it though. Bug wise, I haven't had a Vista related crash since I got it.

One strange thing about installing Vista though was that if you have 4 gigs of ram, it wont install. All you have to do is take 2 gigs out, install vista, get all the vista updates and put the ram back in. That is about the only issue I had with it.

Anyway, this post got way to long, time to watch some One Piece. cp
