It's a 9800GT, which is even more crippled then the 9600.... in the same way a geforce FX 5700LE was only as fast as a Geforce MX 440, which in turn was only as fast as a Geforce 2. :lol:

If he wants future proofing, a radeon 4870 X2/geforce 9800GX2/GTX 280 is needed. The 9800GT may play most games well, but it'll probably not handle even next year's games.

Actually, I am using Vista 64 and had no single problem about drivers compatibility. Vista 64 is even better than the XP 64 when it comes to software compatibility.

Vista Ultimate 64 bit is the best Vista ever. Period. All Vista 32 bit sucks. I need just 10 seconds to enter the windows and I just have 4 GB RAMs.

By the way, I can play Crysis just fine on my PC with all the levels set to high. I can also play FEAR and Doom 3 smooth as glass.
