My understanding is that Vista is totally incompatible with fractint. Forget it. Windows XP however, is ok (sometimes). I have 2 WinXP systems, one is a screamer with fractint, the other is a pig. Go figure. I think it is the CPU (athlon better than intel) and graphics card, also the mobo chipset that makes the difference. Win9X is totally ok, you just want a good P2 or P3 system with at least 256K memory and a good graphics card.
