So you think that the new Vista operating system with 32/64 bits processing is going to help your processing speed for games? Apparently not. Microsoft once again stuffs the operating system with even more services for worthless applications so that the new OS runs slower than XP. Here are the benchmarks including one for COD:

Vista... well not right now but eventually! The biggest reason I am going to need Vista is for DX 10. The implications of DX-10 on Vista are astounding. As MOD says Year or two before its a go, but soon! I have seen a few pictures but suspect it to be Microsoft Propoganda than operational demo's...
Basically DX10 is taking one giant leap towards incredible immersive environments, by changing how objects are coded and therefore affecting the amount of overhead (memory to create and display them). The "problem" is that there are no plans for xp support of DX-10 but they do talk of extending dx9 I think (L) will provide something?? Most of above is in link below, and I may be paraphrasing incorrectly, forgive my feable grasp of it... Doesn't make games more fun, but they will sure as heck be purdy. Anyway, lots of big technical words if you follow this link. I did find it informative and borderline interesting  http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html...oZW50aHVzaWFzdA |
