    Well when they release XP also we had problems with games, it was better in 98. But as XP comes more common, when drivers released, games more optimized to XP, then all started to go on with XP for gaming. So I think this time also we got to wait. Vista will do better in the future for sure!

    Anyway as i think MS made Vista bit too futuristic, i mean imagining like lot of people have atleast computers over 2.5Ghz and around 1gig ram, VGAs at least like FX5500.
    For my opinion still the specs are too high for the normal ppl. Anyway hardware manufacturers will love it ;) :lol:

    But because of Vista, hardware prices will go down. Since Vista is a RAM monster, even 4GB RAM cards will come into play, and 1GB and 2GB cards will become cheaper. Same goes for all the other hardware device type.

    XP was running fine until yesterday I tried to make a startup program a "service" so that I can run it even before logging in. I restarted and it gave an error and most of my startup programs stopped working. I went into safe mode and removed that service, but then I got a BSOD. Since it wasn't shutdown properly, that service wasn't removed from registry. Then I went back into safemode and removed it and this time it worked. But when I tried to log in, i got an error message saying something's wrong with winlogon.exe. It went on and on and I couldn't live like this. wtf! I reinstalled from the scratch.

    as i see its getting cheap in the normal way. in same pace as b4. Even during last couple of months ram prices went sky rocket too. Its may be coz lot of demand for ram since ppl rushing for Vista.
    Anyway i dont see any big price slash even in processors or VGAs etc.. all going down on the same pace as before. Anyway hope the manufacturers will fulfill the hardware demand caused by Vista. if not price will skyrocket again. :yes:

    Vista rtm is fast except the shutdown time. RC1 was very slow I know. Just that I need the ATI drivers so badly.

    yep have to check out Final. :yes: hope it will b not like RC1.
    Anyway i checked carbon on friends 7900GT on XP, GFX was better than the game video it self. Hope to run it on Vista final when that nvidia driver issues fixed.

    Can you both show us some screen shots with the frame rate with those settings. I want to check them with mine.

    If you don't know how to show up the frame rate, download FRAPS (google it) and run it while playing Carbon.

    I think we will just have to wait and see what effects Vista will have on the hardware prices. You have a point GTRZ. The demand has to be met.

    There is no lag even at 15 fps in the game. I don't know how that's even possible, but that's true.

    nope man. You can really feel 15fps. Who said 15 fps has no lag at all? then man why should we go for high end cards looking for speed?

    Even in NFSC "playable" and "no lag at all" are completely different things. As I felt it was hell lot better than 15fps. Anyway machan I’ll check and let you know the exact numbers.
