[QUOTE="FelipeInside"]

Yeah, DX10 might have it's good side, but Vista doesn't.

I have a 8800GTX and I'm sticking to XP until I HAVE to upgrade to something else... the framerate in Vista is unacceptable...even when I turn lots of Vista features off

There's nothing wrong with Vista. And with your PC, you won't even notice the fps drop that comes with Dx10.

I do on mine. So far everything I've played gets less FPS in Vista vs. XP. I'm not saying I don't like VISTA but it comes with a performance hit. Now it may be Vista, it may be drivers, it may be something else. The end result is that it comes with a performance hit.

This is a very good point. With ATI, you can always stick with them and not go with a 3rd party. I have not had any problems with BFG on the nVidia side, however.

Good combo. I have something very similar. I have the P5K vanilla with the Q6600 and Patriot Extreme PC8500. It is a good rig.

You can't get good quality and cheap in the same set of headphones. What is your budget and what soundcard do you have?

You can buy FarCRy for $10. Why even bother downloading it?

Yes, it is worth it. I have one and love it. I use the time for clocking work jobs, I can see who talks to me in Ventrilo when playing, Xfire comments show up andI can monitor my CPU/RAM usage...It is cool. I wish there were more apps for it but I definitely use what is there. I don't play any games that support it so I don't know how that works.
