Your new rig shouldn't have a problem running the game, however I don't know why you didnt go with the Q6600 quad core, it is fairly cheap and it its a great gaming processor with good overclocking potential.

As far as people claiming that as a gamer Vista 64 bit is a must you are wrong. First of a lot of apps still arent fully compatible with 64 bit OS, so you are going to run into a lot of compatibility issues, Vista 32 bit is in a way similar as well, some of your apps wont work, or wont work properly.

I was running Vista 32 for the DX10 (it was the only reason) and beat Crysis on it, it looked amazing, than i tried the DX9 version of the game and compared the two and in all honesty I couldnt really tell the difference, with the exception of brighter contrast lighting, which imo wasnt that much better. Now im running Win XP pro (32 bit) and my computer runs smoother than it did with Vista, some of the games have increased frame rate. I also have XP 64 bit but I havent installed that yet, XP pro works great, and it uses up less resources than any other OS which leaves more resources for your gaming.

I built my system with parts bought from Newegg and they are a great company to deal with and their costumer support is the best ever.

Anyway GL with yout build OP and enjoy it.

I still can't believe that you haven't made a decision yet. I gave you that crap about going with the other one besides newegg just to frustrate you and pull your hair out. Why? Because if you're going to be playing AoC, you're going to have to make decisions for yourself and stop asking everyone elses opinion like a little girl. AoC is for men that have hair on their chest, not little girls who like pink. Just get the damn newegg one and let this thread die.

why are people still responding and trying to help this guy?  He obviously does not want any real discussion on this.  Ignore him.

No idea.  I suggested Newegg.. that's all I can do.  If the guy still wont choose, then it's not our fault.  Seriously guy, just pick one.  I doubt you'll go wrong with either.

I always wonder what the heck these people are running to have compatibility problems with applications.  I've had Vista 64 for over a month now and I haven't had a single issue with any applications.  The only problems I had was with a network driver turning off and having to install Vista with less than 3 gigs of RAM before patching it to use over 3 gigs.  Oh yeah, the User account control, but I turned that annoying thing off.  See, nothing that has to do with applications.  I've installed multiple games and applications and everything works perfectly.

 

Winamp, winrar, DivX, Quicktime, Nero9, AIM, limewire, Firefox, Logitech mouse/keyboard software, a plethora of different games, like Starcraft, Diablo2, Titan Quest, LOTRO, WoW, Need for Speed: MW, CoD3, BF2 and the list goes on. 

 

I'm really interested to see what Vista has problems with.  I guess I'm just too lazy to research..
