I'm building a new computer for gaming and casual use in the next week or two and am deciding what OS to install. I currently have a copy of XP Pro at my disposal or I can get Vista through my school for a meesly $5 so price isn't really an issue.
When Vista was initially released, I saw benchmark comparisons for several games under XP and Vista. Most games had a 10-20% performance decrease under Vista which is why I stuck with XP. Now that the OS has been out for a while longer, how do the two compare performance-wise? Are there any recent benchmarks out comparing this?
I'd really like to give Vista a shot, but not if I'm going to have to take a 10-20% performance hit to do so. Thanks in advance!
