Depends on your system and dx10 gaming.

well xp doesnt support DX10..or 4 gigs of ram..so go with vista..i think x64 version supports 4 gb of ram only..i could be wrong..wont be the 1st time heh

DX10 is a carrot. XP is still going to be less of a headache for a game box.

I run a T7500 Core 2 duo 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 8600M GT on vista and it will run games like crysis quite well. i would reccomend a 64bit OS for the extra RAM and faster processing. but to be honest i do think it depends on the game. Some of my games really do run better on my old desktop XP 32bit.
