I get asked this question a lot, so here's a chart! I took out the Vista Ultimate stuff, since it has everything on the list.

Thats very helpfull Dave, I guess I will just upgrade my XP to Vista Premium after a few months. I hate the fact that you need it to run Direct X 10, seems like Microsoft is forcing me to upgrade when I like XP fine.Disapprove I chose XP on my new build.............

Thanks for the list Big%20smile.
 
Brandon, for $80 more than the upgrade you could just get the full retail version and run dual boot. Or just order an OEM disk and install for ~$120. Either way, you'd be able to keep your XP and gain support for DX10.

Well the rig I got today I have been experimenting with it and I found that EQ2 will play quite nicely in 64 bit Vista.  I didn't have any problesm.  Also I have win xp and win vista dual booting that is an alternative for those who aren't sure what they should do.  BTW, this system looks great too the cabling is perfect and the blue lights just bring out something primal in me.

Question - does anyone know what versions of Vista Dreamscene will be available in?

Chris

EDIT: Nevermind - quick Google search showed that it's a Vista "Ultimate Extra."Cry Apparently there is a patch which allows it to work in Home Premium Big%20smile
