You can create partitions you know..

I have multiboot: XP/Ubuntu/7. Because XP is still awesome. I use 7 only for DX10 games.

personally i like 7 more than xp or vista, microsoft pulled themselves together
on average i use 2gb of ram with photoshop, safari, dreamweaver, illustrator, tf2 and some others open and around 45-60% cpu (C2Q)

Lets Say This Is Your Typical Machine, These Are CLOSE To What The Diff Is:

Windows Vista Running Normaly Uses Around = 2.0gb Ram, 2.7ghz CPU
Windows Vista + GTASA Uses Around = 2.5gb, 3ghz CPU
_________________________________________________
Windows 7 Running Normally Uses Around = 1.00-1.5gb Ram, 2.2ghz CPU
Windows 7 + GTASA Uses Around = 1.5-2.00gb Ram, 2.5ghz CPU

NOTE THAT ABOVE IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE, AND THOSE MAY OR MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU SEE!

Point blank, Windows 7 i WAY faster than Windows Vista, and well, its not an XP, Not An VISTA, but 7, digits = l33t

Your so wrong, because i run Windows Vista.

I got a AMD Athlon II X2 435 3.20GHz, 8GB DDR2 RAM.

Normal Vista running alone is like 700MB Ram, using like 1-2-3% of my CPU.

Vista running GTA-SA is like 1.3-1.4GB Ram, using like 30-40% of my CPU.


Also i got Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

Windows 7 also uses more than vista but not by much.
