    Yes most will, but run slower as vista uses a tad more system resources.

    most of the time, the lag is unnoticeable. however, if you were on the 'edge' of smooth vs. rough performance before... expect it to be 'rough' now if you are using the same hardware as before.

    Just about any system means an upgrade to go to Vista. The upgrades get more severe if you want to play games.

    Depends on what hardware you have, COD4 and Crysis, work fine on my Vista PC.

    Basics are of my PC,

    C2D E6700
    2GB PC8500 RAM
    Nvidia GF8800GTS

    the newer the game the more likely it will work fine.

    Every game I played on XP plays equally as well on Vista. I've noticed no drop in performance since the upgrade.

    Bullshit. Absolute bullshit. Have you seen any benchmarks for Vista Vs XP on games? They're cloe but in nearly every case vista gets better frames.
