[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 381379, member: 84335"] for what its worth Ive run it in vista 32 bit and xp 32 bit and it worked fine in both. In Vista I found it easier to set up as less 'requirements' need installing before putting MP on. Vista has EVR which some people prefer to VMR9 for the video rendering, but perceived benefits of this I guess would depend on what you are playing back on. To use EVR in Vista you need to run Aero so necessary to have sufficient hardware to do that. Ive not seen much success in Forums of running EVR in XP but there's posts about that argue it can be done. Vista has dx10 which is arguably an improvement over dx9 if the machine will be running games as well as HTPC stuff. Right now Im using XP and am happy with it. From where Im sitting its much of a muchness, but as mentioned above, there's a lot of discussion on this subject in the forums, and a variety of opinions if you'd care to take a look.
