vista ultimate ran mediocre on my old 3ghz P4 - now i installed it as dualboot on my 24" imac, and it actually runs very good. so i guess you gotta have a dual core atleast to get it running good.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW64

You might want to check your "facts" there. Vista64 has run practically everything I've thrown at it. I might have to do the occasional "run as admin", or compatibility shortcut but its not like that's difficult to do.

Wow64 is the answer for 32bit apps on 64bit Windows Smile

I to dual boot, and in my experiance Vista is not a resource hog as many people would want you to belive. YES it does need more RAM, but other than that i've actually seen performance enchancements in A LOT of games.

The only thing i would recommend for Vista is to have 3GB of ram, dual core cpu(lets face it, you can get a dual core for under 100$, and they aren't bad) and you would see that Vista runs games faster than a XP machine with the same parameters.
