More reason not to migrate to Vista just yet. I have one copy of Vista but never install it yet, even bought another HDD for multi OS in my PC switch via BIOS.
Maybe later, when Crysis actually be a Vista exclusive (that what rumor said) then i will install it. I think 4GB RAM will be a standard in coming years for sure as more complex games will be created.

I find it funny that Halo 2 for the pc was suppose to be exclusive to Vista, but someone already found away to run it on XP.
Yeah 4 GB of ram will prob be the mainstream for gaming in the next 2 years. Everything doubles in performance ever 2 years and at this rate I’d expect that would be the case for games by then.

Windows XP compatibility
Released the third week of June 2007, a program that enables Halo 2 to run on Windows XP was released by user abcba on the File front forum. The program consists entirely of legal code that implements any missing function Halo 2 needs to run on Windows XP. Using this program, the single player section of Halo 2 is playable on Windows XP.
Does Halo 2 multiplayer work with Windows XP? Who likes single player, nobody that's competetive.
