My old setup was an Epox NF4 Ultra mobo with an Athlon 64 FX55

Both had the same 4850 video card and the same 2 gigs of RAM. The
only difference is between DX9 XP Home and DX10.1 Vista64 Home
Premium. Now I have yet to use the benchmarking utility for Crysis
(all patched up of course) but it ran smoothly enough at that
resolution and medium settings before that I had no problem getting
my crosshairs on the Koreans and fragging them. Now however it
visibly stutters and I attribute that to Vista and of course the 64
bit version has been widely reported to also be slower for gaming.
Hopefully more RAM will help. What kind of boxes do the rest of the
list members use for gaming?Gam
I use an XBox and Wii. Oh, and I play GoalLineBlitz on the computer.
