Vista Ultimate sucks too?

Wonderful brand name replacement there

Agreed with kianchun.

Truelife is a Dell marketing jargon for reflective LCD screens (more like a mirror when it's turned off) which is great for movies and games due to high color and contrast but might be bad if you're working your Office documents under the sun or bright lights. This is the same situation like other brands' BrightView, ColorShine, CrystalBrite etc.

Windows Vista Basic edition provides a crippled (cut-down features with no fancy AERO interface) windows environment for users. So they are expected to upgrade to better versions of Windows Vista in future. Vista fans should really answer his questions since I think Vista just sucks. Better stick with XP if you care for gaming most.

About decising a tradeoffs between a good GC and a good PROC, we need to know the truth of gaming requirement. Most games placed a greater important on a better spec GC than a PROC. If you really on a tight budget and care most for gaming, better choose better GC than PROC. But if you want your investment secure for future games, it's best to opt for the best of both worlds.

NEED EVIDENCE? Just look here for gaming benchmarks that some of us have contributed so far (look for a particluar budget-concious benchmarks contributors). We could GAME ON regardless of budget, if we CHOOSE WISELY.
