XP - Gamers hell

Being a gamer it would be nice to have a system that i can us my existing games on. With some games having no vista upgrades made it's a minefield for any avid gamer.

Another problem seems to be that with vista using alot of memory this reduces the amount available to games and with some of the most recent game using towards 1GB of memory, a standard home user isn't going to jump in for 4gb of memory to start with.

It seems that some game issues can be resolved by making the game run 'as administrator' , an idea solution.

I'll be sticking to XP for quite some time.
