I started on platforms and moved to the PC for flexability and graphics.(and for the power to stop pc users from makeing platforms users lives miserable online). No way I would ever go back to platforms. DX 10 will blow away PS3 or XBOX360 graphics. PCs offers so much more. I view platforms as for newbies.

If it wasnt for Direct X needs I would still be running Win95, 98 or Windows 2000. I hate the bloat they add to every OS. Seems every new OS is three steps backwards to take 2 steps foward. My 1 gig sticks of OC ram can handle anything I can throw at them plus Vista. 64 bit to me seems redundent unless you need multi-core CPU parallelism and/or(over 4) up to 128 gigs of ram.

I wish!!! I am still using DDR 400 and a single core. But I did finally make the move from CRT to LCD. But I see your point, even if I bought a new alienware with quad double super mega SLI "animal style" in 6 months it would become DUAL quad double super giga quad SLI "Manmoth style"

XP will no longer serve my gaming needs when DX10 games come out. At that time I will upgrade to Vista and will no longer buy DX9 games. I simply have to much money invested in my DX10 Video card not to exploit DX10 to its fullest. XP just wont cut it anymore. Nor would I upgrade to Vista for any other reason. Compared to the price of my World Class DX10 Video Card, price of Vista is just peanuts.
