In a recent study performed by ExtremeTech, they put sp1 vs hotfixes to the test. Which is better for gamers and does sp1 deliver? is it finally the wow MS promised when it released Vista… Well, turns out, if you’re a gamer, you NEED this service pack. I have been using sp1 since the refresh release candidate. It made me really enjoy my vista experience, which matters since this is my primary system, though it’s also my only system :). However, i must point out, if you’re into Crysis, you might wanna pay close attention to the charts on the site, a quote comes to mind..”There’s something fishy in the state of Denmark”. So, turns out, atleast based on their tests, sp1 is excellent for overall gaming and media applications. However, Crysis players, take not, especially if you’re on SLI, you have to read this article… Everyone else, get it, get it soon as it’s out… you owe it to yourselves..
