    Vista vs XP: framerates & game performance: Is sound the culprit?

    Yes, don't misunderstand, i don't claim that sound is the only culprit. Video Card drivers have a major role too. I'm planning on getting hold of a second hdd this week and installing my dusty vista ultimate at home and running a few benchmarks just to see if what i'm assuming is actually...

    Help me overclock further
