You need stupid vista to benifit from DX10+. I'm sure vista is good but I don't like change

I think I am going to have to invest in a new pc sooner or later. Only thing worth saving is the raptors

Vista is going to be dumped faster than a 61 year old whore by Microsoft. If you're still on XP, I'd just do the full version upgrade to Windows 7 and get a new DX11 compliant video card. Now need for a complete new kit in most situations except for Herbs and Leroy cause YOU'RE OLD!
