Can my game be better if I upgrade my machine?

Yes, it will probably run better under Vista than XP. And even better under 7.
Vista is a RAM hog, so it probably wouldn't run better than XP unless you have a lot of RAM to play with.
Yes, but will XP even use anything over 3 GB?
Madame Mim:
OK, so Windows 7, new video card/s and more RAM - probably in that order.

About 3.6GB Spock, on my machine, anyway.
Personally, with 4GB, I'd stick to XP. Especially on a slightly older machine.
Madame Mim:
the problem is that there's no way to quanitify the age of my machine. My floppy disc drive is probably 10 years old but the rest of my machine gets regular upgrades. My MB is younger than my video cards and my RAM is younger again.

I play just fine with a 3.6Ghz P4 dual core machine, XP pro, 2Gb of RAM, and ATI 3850 video card. Like witch, I will stick with XP for the older machine.
