Vista on the brain....!

[Akuma]

I was wundering if some of you pros out there can give me a hand.

Im building a new gaming rig and want the dx10 goodies.

But im kinda at a loss. Im fermiler with XP home to the point were i can right junk in the regestry without worrie,
but am at a total loss when it comes to vista.

If I just get Vista home basic, am I looking at loosing eny featurs as far as dx 10 goes?
I mean is ther enything that will be added to higher vista
OS that wouldmake me say "Darn, my benches on my dx 10 games woulda been higher if woulda have went with Vista preimium?

I read that ther will be some kind of game optimization with vista primium. Does this have to do with the new API?
Or the unified shader model and 4.0 ?

I plan on getting the ATI R600 and crysis but dont want to be cut out of the loop with my gaming rig becouse I went with home basic.

Basicly{and at the risk of sounding like a mantard} Will somone with the same specs as me run DX10 faster with a higher Vista OS?

Or am I safe by just getting the Basic OS?

Eny help on this would be great.

Thnx.......Akuma

First of all ... noone really knows.
But I doubt that MS would take out basic functionality from the home edition.
That's like taking notepad out.
So far, professional/premium/bla-editions have always added either stuff for the bussiness world like better networking or whatever, or media center stuff like media-player-advanced-uplinkdownloadthingywithflashylooks or something.
As for DX10, they can't just partially take out an integral part of the OS, especially since they claimed that DX10 is far more integrated into Vista than previous installments.

So basically, no. I think you're fine if you get basic edition, which is probably what most everyone is going to do.

Thnx DarQraven.... . . sounds good to me.

As far as I found last night Home basic will be missing the
desktop Areo thing. But I dont realy care fore it.

Actually the only eye candy I have running on my desktop
is shadows for my files and mouse pointer. Thats it.

The rest of the flash is all turned off for speed.
O, also you cant burn iso to the hard drive.
But I dont use them enyways.
All I care about is my crysis running full tilt..on DX 10.

Thnx... later...
