    What games do you play on Vista ?

    I don't have a problem playing online games on Vista, so I didn't post this to Gaming.

    I have been able to play Everquest 1 very easily on my Vista computer. Last year was my third year playing, on a WinXP desktop with a 32 meg video card at first, then changed to a 128 meg video card both AGP8x, Everquest. My Vista machine has double the ram and a larger PCI-express video card with 256 Megs of video ram.

    I can certainly handle denser character numbers on my Vista machine than I could on either the WinXP computers. (Both WinXP computers need new motherboards).

    I have tried Second Life MMO, but my Vista Home Premium machine seems to be slower there.

    So, what computer games, MMOs, do you play on Vista machines and how well do they play ?

    Crysis, Devil May Cry 4, Halo2 (all with a 360 game controller)

    Crysis and DMC4 run at medium and "C"- but I am also running them on a 2 year old notebook with a C2D T7600G 2.66ghz, and a class 2 gpu (Radeon x1900 256mb DX9C). Halo2 runs on high.
    Hard to believe this was a $4000 high-end gaming notebook 2 years ago...

    Crysis, Crysis Warhead plays good once I got the settings right for my rig. Also I play Bioshock, Gears of War.

    You Geforce G100 is really a rebranded Geforce (9400 series)class 3 card-a low midrange GPU. It will only play the newer games like Crysis at decreased details and mediocre resolution. a year from now it will be barely games capable in regard to new releases.

    I pretty much only play City Of Villains. All at max high settings. No lag whatsoever.

    I also play COD4 every now and then.

    Team Fortress 2.

    I find it a great way to unwind at the end of the day, nothing like a whole lot of killing cartoon characters

    I realizer it is a 9400. But Everquest worked with a 128 meg video card, doubling it to 256meg was a big improvement/

    I do have a 512Meg PCI-Express video card, but it is likely too tall to fit in the smaller E1400 case. I bought the 512 meg card to run the video in my 'bare bones' WinXP desktop.
