before installing Vista, check if there are drivers (not beta ones) for all your components

Well, to answer Anatomy`s question, Vista isn`t too good for gaming right now. I would wait for games to be optimized for it. And no offense, but the system that that you have isn`t really quite powerful enough to run Vista well. So if you are planning on keeping you current specs, stay with XP Pro. If you are planning to upgrade your system for Vista, let us know so we can point you in the right direction.
