is Windows 7 finally ready for gaming?

you can always dual boot and compare to see if you're losing out. you shouldn't be as win 7 does seem pretty good.
if you're not happy with win 7 then just delete it and you will still have xp and if you are happy then delete xp.

i also was one of those who couldn't get along with vista even after the service packs....it just couldn't compare to xp on the systems we had even though they were a decent spec both with 4gb ram.....but pointless me still banging on about it as win 7 is here now and it's much better.

i just reinstalled win 7 today even though im still dual booting im going to try and move over to win 7 more.....i'm a bit like you that i just can't seem to let go of xp because it has worked so flawlessly.

Just a note:

All statements said about Windows 7 here also apply to Vista.

Indeed they do. Never had a problem with Vista and not had a problem with Win7.

Tbh I only upgraded to W7 because it was so cheap to do so or I would have stayed on Vista, I then flogged my Vista Ultimate retail which virutally paid for the upgrade anyway.

Gaming wise I have seen no performance drop at all, but what I have seen is the far superior memory management that both Vista / W7 bring.

Why?

If you get a 5800 card there'll be no games out that will test it.
