My goal is NOT to get Vista. PJ :thumbs:

576480 2007-08-04 22:16:00 Likewise :)!
My goal is actually to save a big bit of cash and take the family overseas in 10 years or so to revisit a few places in Europe and catch up with the rellies in the UK.

576481 2007-08-04 22:53:00 I always wanted to own a house by the time I was 35. Now 37 (38?) and still renting. It may happen yet (wheres lady luck when ya need her)

I guess my goal has changed a lot since then too. I never intended on having kids, and my only true goal at the moment is to ensure she is provided for

576482 2007-08-04 22:54:00 Vista? Moving to Vista makes as much sense to a gamer like me as moving to a Linux distro - or for that matter, a Mac (shudder).

I have no overwhelming desire to play Halo 2 - and I can't see game developers coding games exclusively for DirectX10 for some time yet ("some time yet" in computer terms means a year or so.)

Sorry to go off topic there...

576483 2007-08-04 23:07:00 I wanted to be a signwriter. But 99.9% wouldn't take girl apprentices when I left school.
Oh well.

Then one day husband bought a C64 home and it all went from there.
His goal was for me to be a programmer or something that made way more money.
Oh well.


Did get the old house with no mortgage, but had to move to accomplish that.

Sorry to go off topic there... Actually just because they are not exclusivly DX10 does not mean you can't run Vista to experience DX10... I am getting Vista Ultimate soon just so I can play DX10 games to their full potential (mainly Bioshock)... I am a gamer... and I am going to Vista... seems logical with DX10 :rolleyes:

Maybe that will turn out to be an "own goal"? ;)

Mmm.

And have you read any of the DX9 vs DX10 gameing reviews? Seems to be a bit of a negative with DX10 so far.

Yeah well, I haven't got the machine to play any recently released game to its full potential - Intel Dual Core 2.8 GHz, 2GB 533 DDR RAM, Asus N7900GT TOP.

I'm assuming that you're running a Dual Core, 8GB RAM, 2x 8800GTX Ultra SLI rig then? Otherwise you'll probably be turning off the eye candy that justifies DirectX10 - just so you can get the frames per second to resemble something other than a slide show.
