Windows Vista and CrossfireX gaming PC

Why on earth would I install Windows Vista on my retro gaming PC, and why would I bother with buggy crossfire? See for yourself! Vista is actually very good, if you install the service packs. It is lighter than Windows 7, but supports DX10 unlike XP. Drivers are functional, and its just a great experience. Crossfire was also very easy, just enable it and go. I have had quite a few issues with some older games in W10, and crossfire on W10 is always hit or miss, so I settled on Vista and was not disappointed. The lack of Steam support can be a problem, but it isnt a deal breaker for me. At 1080p, having only 512 mb of VRAM did hold it back in some cases, AA was a killer, and reducing resolution would sometimes be more CPU bound, but the performance was still good. This may end up with a 17" CRT at 1280 x 1024, if I can find the space. Specs below
