This is a common misunderstanding.  Most people have trashed installations of XP and most do not even know it.  This is simply due to the ludicrous installation options MS defaulted XP to, which over time gauranteed XP to run very poorly.

Vista, by its very design, cannot run faster than XP on the same hardware, even if more RAM is installed.


I dunno, I guess thats why you make the big bucks LOL, I wouldn't know a good install from a bad install as long as it works. And xp worked, so I never questioned it, the only thing I hated about xp that I like about vista is the recovery disk is a actual disk and not some stupid 2 disk image set :)
But as long as it works I guess I'll keep it. This thing is like a million times faster than my old computer anyway.

I have some fps loss using external in H2H, but over all if I use internal view only I get better fps than ever before, and thats with no video card, just the on board graphics.


so I guess your Vox is now fixed too

I remember on the General forums about a year or so ago someone else made the same request.

To the best of my recolection hightech said "IOt would be cheaper to buy every player of AH a PC then it would be to write AH for mac."

So yea...I'd say its hopeless LOL

I too have an old Audigy.  There is a beta driver on Creative Labs website, it's working fine for me.

Dunno yet after buying a computer and spending 3 days transferring all the stuff I had on the old one, and trying to think "do I want this file that was there when I bought it" I'm kinda not caring about hooking up a mic right now
