Vista dose not seeem to support older games, some even refuse to run becouse Hardware acceloration is not being turned on in vista for direct3d support, like for example 64bit Vista "Pristontale" is plaged by this problem.
XP dose not have that problem, as it maximum ram consuption on idle is 234MB and it can be even lower.
XP is faster then vista in many ways and supports all programs/games.
I recommend TinyXP Rev 9 / torrent sites, its the fastest OS reconfigured to maximize performance.

vista is ram dependant: it is, but not 8gb, i have 4gb installed (of which 3gb useable) and it runs smooth at hell
64bit vista is the problem for pristontale? you should know 64bit xp is ecen worse, in fact ive been able to play gta2 on vista without tweaking
i havent been able to play 2 games on vista so far, and that was CoD2 (menu, no problems, ingame a black screen) and rollercoaster tycoon 1 (screen froze on start menu, it did run further though) that was when i just got vista, over 18 months ago so it should be fixed by now
also some post i made a while back covering most of the vista is bad arguments
