Yes, dark age is a good description. I think vista will just be stable when windows 7(thats the name. I kept saying Windows 10 but it's 7) comes out.

I've been there, never again. I couldn't even get drivers for a wireless network card. Vista 64 though seems to have a growing following.

New rig specs look nice, I'm jealous...

What the hell man?!?! That's my computer you are talking about!!!

XP 64 was one of the biggest mistakes of my computer life. I'm just glad I did not pay for it. (Yes it was a legit copy. I got it for free because of a deal my college has with Microsoft. I also got a copy of 32bit XP that I am using now the same way.)

Anyway, Vista 64 all the way, (If you have to use Vista) otherwise congrats on the new rig. Where do you live so I can "borrow" it for a while

Sorry mate, it's an OEM version, only one license. This allowed me to get the OS for a third of the retail price.

I made the idiot mistake of going with 32-bit Vista, despite having 4Gb of RAM. So, I only get to use about 3Gb of it.

And despite actually having a better rig than this, I STILL suck ass at this game.

Nice rig btw. It should run 2142 reeeeal sweet.
