Vista runs games slower than XP right?
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2302499,00.asp

This even surprised me slightly to be honest. Although I do know Vista's fine from actually using it, I was somewhat surprised to see it dead even with XP in gaming performance.

how would the OS really impact gaming performance all that much. The games don't run virtually or anything so it depends on what the OS does to give direct access to the hardware.
So a newer OS should handle memory management and resources better.

my point was i hear all the time i hear the "gamers should go xp because vista is slow" nonsense, and then i came across this which i thought was interesting.

yeah i agree it should, and *hopefully* MS gets that now as its making windows 7. hopefully.
