My school has me on the Vista waiting list for over 7 months now. They give out free copies to their students. Now I don't know which version it is (probably the cheapest) but I just want to know a few things if I actually decide to "upgrade".
Will I gain, lose, or maintain the same FPS when upgrading to Vista in games? To be more precise, Counterstrike Source.. Will I lose even 5 FPS?
I've been reading about a problem with Vista and X-Fi SoundBlaster sound cards.. has this issue been resolved with the latest drivers? If not, I'm definitely not going to "upgrade". My sound is my hacks, without it I wont even want to play or even use my computer.
What are the benefits to "upgrading"? Will my computer run faster? Is it customizable like XP? Does it have lots of issues? Are there bugs that have been worked on since its release that still haven't been sorted out?
I want people who've actually read about, tried, or have Vista to only respond in this thread. Not the "Vista Haters" or people who just randomly come into threads and start bullshit for the fuck of it.
I don't want Vista for the eye candy or whatever. I just want to upgrade and utilize what my video card is supposed to do. And that's use DirectX10 on games that support it. *ahem crysis*
Thanks
