Hey guys, just wanted to ask what is everyone's experance with Vista and games. Im a massive World Of Warcraft fan and i would love to run it on Vista but WOW is a five disk set and takes litrally hours to install for some reason. I was thinking it won't work on Vista due to Vista hogging all the resources or non compatiblity?? Anyways just wanted an opinion and to see what games people have sucessfull ran on Vista.

I ran across a pretty good web site that not only gives games, but other programs that work, that work with some issues and also programs that do not work.
Here is the link

Although I don’t play games in my PC, I wonder what part does the performance rating play on games. My laptop and desktop 3D business and gaming graphics performance are 1.0 and 3.6 respectively. How do I know which games I can afford to play?

Felix, click on Games and you will get the ones that came with Vista, and on the lower right of the screen you will see your score (mine is 1.0) click on Performance Information, and at the bottom of the next screen, click the link that says (View software for my base score on line) You can check out the required specs for the games your interested in, however there is no list per-say.
