I have Vista on a new pc cant see any major difference with FPS between XP and Vista. The O/S alone will prob not have any bearing on FPS as it is more down to what ahrdware you have to run it.

(Even after, what is it a year now?..) I can still see no reason to run FS9 or FSX on Vista. Even the DX10 bits aren't worth using Vista. XP still has way more headroom. I got curious again recently and thought I was being harsh on Vista, so I gave it a third chance - it still disappointed me and off it came.

The only advantage I have heard of to Vista was for FSX, and that is only if using SLI with 64 bit.Best RegardsDonald T:-waveFLYing? It's cool. Trillions of birds and insects can't be wrong.

Basically Vista will never run as fast as XP but by using FSautostart you can get rid of some of the overheads..I have 2 vista sysems (32bit 2gig ram and 64bit 4gig ram) as well as an xp64 server and in my experience with these I really wouldn
