    Windows 7 vs. Windows XP for gaming

    For me it would be interesting to compare the gaming capabillities of Windows 7 with Windows XP.

    What does Windows 7 have?
    What does XP have?

    Windows 7 will have the latest Direct X which XP does not have. Furthermore the W7 team cleaned up code which was 20 years old, which XP still has.

    Windows 7 is a lot faster, and has the cool graphics, and less alerts than vista

    Use Windows 7, it's stable, it has many cool features, and it's great for gaming. (:

    Yep they really failed with vista.. It eats 75% of your RAM (Don't remember 100% how much it was, but it was over 50% at least..)

    Doesn't it say: "Minimum requirements, 1,5GB RAM" or something.. I think it eats 1GB at least :o
