I'm now running Vista 64bit SP1 on my new rig. With 8GB of Ram, this rig is smoking fast. I didn't really try Vista pre SP1, so I can't compare. But, compared with XP I see improvements in nearly everything that I enjoy doing on my PC.
I've tried TF2 and FFoW. They both run fine, although FFoW is still a bit choppy for me. It's really surprising. I'm wondering how much of that is due to their code rather than my new PC.
I suppose I'll try a new vid card in a few months (9800 GTX) after the crazy early adopters have their fill. But I don't know if that will improve FFoW any further and might end up being a big waste of cash.
Ah.... the madness of my hobby continues.
