tricked you ahaha
Seriously, I need to decide between XP or Vista on a laptop. I hear Vista hogs like a sumbitch, and not only that, this refurbished model comes with Vista Business. Idk if that's worse but w/e.
Anyway, the system specs are Intel C2D 2.0, Nvidia 8600, 2GB RAM, good enough hard drive, don't care about the rest. I dont want to hear any of this 'that system blowz, because it doesn't. I've done my research and people can run Crysis, Bioshock, and CoD4 with those specs on med-high settings.
But should I pay an extra 70 or so bucks to buy a new one with XP instead? Or do games run ok in Vista? I had Vista on my old comp, only 512 MB memory, so my opinion will be biased. And I'm hearing Vista + games = fail unless the system is a monster to begin with. Is that true?
