Im planning on upgrading my pc to vista will this affect my computer's performance when playing games using office 07 etc?

With your system in your signature you will likely see a small drop in performance in games but you probably wont noticed it as much with Office products.

I would suggest another GB of RAM for Vista as well.

I would suggest another GB of RAM for Vista as well.

So should I also go higher on my RAM to? Cause i have a RAM meter on my keyboard and its over 90 % playing some games, which is what I think is slowing Crysis down playing on my rig, or is it something else? (look below) :confused:

Another GB of Ram(for 2GB total) will really help in Vista, mine uses around 700MB on startup. What's your CPU look like when playing.

I have 2 GB of RAM and it still seems slow when playing certain games but my CPU seems to be fine.

You lose anywhere from 5 to 20% while game playing in Vista over XP. You shouldn't really notice much difference in office / productivity apps.

One more upgrade option is to get a lower-end AMD Dual core...4200+?
