Hi Halo00man, I'm not a gamer, but you have not yet received replies from others, so I'll start it off. — do you have any options regarding Graphics Card? — are you aware that "some" of the older games may not play/ or may not perform as well on Vista? I am not familiar with the details of which games perform more or less well, but you might check the game's publisher forum to such information. Best Regards
