If you have a DX10 card it should handle it with no fps drop in game's but there would be a decrease with AA at full and everything at high then xp would be with everything at high and AA at full.

Vista x64 > XP x64

XP x64 has lack of drivers, Vista has better support/drivers.

I just made the move from Server 2K3 X64 to Vista SP2 X64...no complaints so far, thankfully.

I'm running it right now and boy I almost forgot how fast XP was after Vista and Windows 7.

I swear 99% of people who comment on XP x64 have never used it, or used it before x64 drivers became mainstream.

I have used XP x64. It sucks. My FPS would randomly drop to 32 frames for absolutely NO reason. And it would always be 32fps. Works find in x86, x64 doesn't like me though.

And yes its a legit copy so it's not like "Oh well you got a bad os or whatever"

Performance doesn't matter regardless of it being legit or not, why even bring that up?
