"Downgraded" to XP

I finally got so pissed off at Vista that I made the change to XP. It has taken a total of 9 hours so far to do this. Only because I have had the fun job of finding updates. XP Doesn't recognize any of my hardware so I had to find stupid drivers that were LIKE mine, because there isn't a vista format for any of them.

I got to play 5 minutes of CSS tonight. So far I can MAX out the graphics and still get 20 fps! I would be crying at 5 if I were to do that on Vista. Moving towards the settings that I had, I am ranging from 25-40. More than I expected. It was a wonderful change. Also a nice twist to this, is that I can HEAR! Some how my sound is a lot better than it was. I can hear everything a lot better and it just sounds... great..

I warn anyone who is looking to downgrade their Vista-Made PC/Notebook to NOT DO IT if you aren't computer fluent! This was a very tough task and took a lot of research.
