Dennis, can you see or feel a difference between 65 FPS and 93 FPS? Generally speaking Vista runs slower then XP.

You could try updating your video card drivers.

First try updating your video card drivers to the latest ones 182.06 I believe.If this does not work,then update the MB bios.If you still have the same issue,then it's a VISTA issue.But it's highly unlikely you will actually percieve the difference yourself with the naked eye.65 FPS is still very good framerate.Goodluck.
