the in ory


it all depends on the game, and esp if you are moving to 64 bit, some games like FEAR 2 on 64 bit has minor issues, other can't even play at all at all (my old dos 16 bit game transport tycoon for example...) and needs other things like dosbox emulation.

Applicable to build 7100 (the RC) - Here's a list: http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/ [...] -list.html

Well, I can say that W7 work better that Vista, I was trying to play on VISTA Prototype, XMEN and COD and I wasn't able to play this game were running really slow. Just upgrade to W7 2 days ago and no problems with all 3 games they are running very good hope this will help you decide if you want to move up to W7.

Good Luck M8

Just install the game and see if it works or not, most of the recent games that work with Vista work ok with Windows7. Im running Windows7 64bit, Fallout 3 (Steam) works a treat.

A lot of games that won't work in Vista work just fine in Windows 7. Older games run fine too. I didn't even need to mess with the affinity to get Unreal Tournament G.O.T.Y. to work.

I was no able to play Crysis on Windows Vista last nite i did install Crysis on W7 and walaaaaa it was running really good.. dont know what was wrong w/my W/Vista but it seem like W7 its working real good.. Only problem that I have w/W7 is that mozilla is not running good I read on an article that M$ is trying to control the market again its just time for some fox to get everything right.
