The encoding was mentioned on one of the links that was posted here. Some encoding is marginally better, some much better. Do you have any comparison timings? Of course I will have the option of setting up dual boot. That's too bad as I find that Xp Pro x64 to be much faster when extracting

Come to think of it, this particular computer will be running my 4 year old chessboard (DGT), so finding 64 bit drivers for that may be difficult or impossible. At least this time I will install regular XP, not the Media Center crap that I never use On 11/26/07, Raul Limos [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm about to install software on a new system: Abit IP35 MB, 2 gig, 6850 Processor, 8800GTS video card. I have the option to install XP or Vista. Is there any reason to do Vista rather than XP? Is Vista really slower? ThanksSteve

Gamer, definitely. No DirectX10 for XP? I vaguely remember reading that somewhere. Now if you turn off the eye-candy, is it just as fast as XP? And...oh, yeahcan you install Office 2003 on it? On Nov 25, 2007 6:06 PM, Jason Carson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm about to install software

XP is faster that Vista, has lower memory requirements, SP3 is due to come out in the near future and has already been reported as being much faster than SP2, HardOCP has only found one DX10 game that is FPS and visually superior to DX9 and XP can easily be made as secure while online. All in

XP definitely. Vista has some better eye candy but as far as I can see that only uses more resources. On Nov 25, 2007 7:16 PM, zaske [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: XP is faster that Vista, has lower memory requirements, SP3 is due to come out in the near future and has already been reported as being

Thanks for all the info, it seems that Vista is only faster in the realm of audio/video encoding and I don't do much of that, or so much that the difference is important. Then the final question: Is 64bit WinXP worth it? Faster? I'd assume it would be the same on 32 bit applications. Although
