Vista or Xp for AOC???

Notebooks more so since you don't really have a lot of options to fix driver problems. And most Notebook manufacturers(dell, gateway, HP, etc) put out the graphics card drivers not nvidia or ati. So it gets scetchy sometimes but for the most part your good.

Just to try save ya any type of headache before you install it.

I hadn't thought of that... I have an HP now, and TERRIBLE updates for drivers etc... The new notebook is a Toshiba, and I have no idea how they will be. Perhaps I should wait to buy Vista 64 until I see that Toshiba is offering it with their notebooks? I would assume that would mean they have all the drivers somewhere that I will be able to find.

unfiortunately Vista but will have service pack 2 XP on my
IMac.

Not touching Vista until I have to. XP is mo bettah. Unfortunately soon i'll be screwed into using downgrade licensing at my companies so I can install XP instead of being forced into Vista. They'd better just keep putting out XP drivers for newer PC's. Vista still blows for file copy on networks. My friend installed on 200+ PC's...and went back to XP Pro a week later for his company. UGH!

From most games i've seen...DX10 vs DX9 isn't a huge leap anyhows. I know in Hellgate:London DX10 looked even worse because of the crappy motion blur. At least Vista is supposedly getting closer in FPS finally though. So while I have a DX10 card i'm sticking to XP for the forseeable future.

Vista Ultimate 64 bit here

I am running AoC on the 64 bit version of Windows Vista Business with service pack 1 right now, and I have had no problems with Vista at all. Some things with Vista bug me, but not enough to run back to Windows XP.
