 Dude...Vista
I was always against it until I got bored one day. I installed Vista on both my desktops and omg I actually F*CKING love it. I'm a dumbass for not upgrading earlier, but im glad at the same time because most of the kinks have been worked out as far as i've seen. I built my desktops strictly for media and gaming. The direct 10 mixed with an Nvidia physx core F*CKING rocks and the gadget bar....don't get me started.
I won't look down on those use XP, I'm not judgmental, but if it's not 64bit you're a fag :)

First thing I did on my Vista machine was get rid of the Gadget shit and make it resemble XP. >.>

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure you need vista to upgrade to Micro 7. I just heard that somewhere

You have an AMD Athlon 5000+, no?
Try running CS: Source under Vista, I'm curious to see what your frames are.
Mine were fine, up until they'd drop to 30 fps randomly.

Edit: in game I averaged between 120 & 170. never lower than 100

Probably something got turned around in your con fig file. Shits happened to me on CoD4 i used a default setup and my fps jumped back to normal.

It was probably one of the worst $209 investments I've ever made. I find it is extremely hard to play video games with a giant dick in your ass.

this
there is nothing wrong with vista. I thought it took up a lot of RAM to use at first, but then I took windows aero off and it's fine. It might look like windows 95 but who the F*CK cares.

Vista fails HARD. I tried to upgrade to vista, and my video card stopped working even with drivers. Turns out Vista rewrote the kernel enough that so you can't run an AGP video card with a dual core AMD chip. Funny thing is the Vista compatibility checker thingy didn't say a word about this massive incompatibility.

so what im basically getting is "Vista isn't compatible with my shit, so it's instantly garbage"
then update your shit, foo! AGP is extremely dated (created in 1997).
