Wouldnt it be easier to list the ones that dont?

BF2 (need to run in admin mode)
Oblivion
HL2 (and all the addons)
X3
9Dragons

They all run very well, in fact everything I've installed has worked. Not tried any other games as yet, but bet they are ok.

I have had Steam games like CS:S and DoD:S working BUT only 40fps in vista but I get 150+ in xp.

guildwars = as good as xp
gothic 3

neverwinter nights 2 = a tad slower maybe

World of Warcraft works fine in vista (no difference in speed).
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - seems to work better than in xp.

World of Warcraft and Burning Crusade work on Vista HPx64, although it is abit slower then on Media Centre 2005, maybe due to lack of decent drivers for 8800 series... still 100+fps with everything maxxed @1680x1050
