It's not just gaming. I am testing Vista for copoate use (no games) on a
Dell ATGD620, 2GB, 1.83 GB Duo Intel. I have noticed signifincant
differences between Vista and XP runing on a much smaller machines while
performing normal business functions.

Vista would not be accepted by the field due to decreased performance.
