64 bit Vista and PzC

[Kharkov]

Thanks again for all the useful comments.

Well I have made the fateful ( some might say fatal ) decision.

I went for 32 bit Vista.

If I hadn't been getting a new computer I would have stayed with XP. But as I needed a new computer I figured I might as well get the latest OS. Also although you clearly do not need Vista to play PzC I like to play other wargames as well,some of which require high end video cards to fully appreciate the graphics e.g the Silent Hunter series. Future games of this type will likely make use of DirectX10 and above which, as I understand it, is supported by Vista but not XP.

I went for 32 bit because it appears to have fewer driver compatibilty issues than 64 bit. Will probably upgrade to 64 bit at some time in the future.

Notwithstanding all of the above I will keep my old XP computer for a while as insurance. Braces come in handy if your belt doesn't work

Everybody's situation is different of course, and I'm sure that for many it makes good sense to stay with XP
