I just bought a new computer that was preloaded with vista business [don't ask] and I was wondering if you guys knew how to downgrade to XP. I already know that it's possible and that it's free for business. I've already looked at tutorials and I'm sad to say that I couldn't understand half of what they were saying after reading through it thoroughly.

Vista is just fine for video games, so long as you have the hardware to support it. The major issue w/ vista is the computability with work related programs.
Also the reason that going to XP is fine: Hardware isn't designed for a specific OS. You can go onto your hard drive, re-do the partition, and format XP to it, leaving no trace of Vista. Hardware isn't designed for a specific OS. Hardware isn't designed for a specific OS. Did I mention that HARDWARE ISN'T DESIGNED FOR A SPECIFIC OPERATING SYSTEM? |

If you have less than 2GB of ram on a Vista box... you're not gonna get the full potential of Vista, and that would only be the "Eye Candy". |
