Not true, 7 will run in XP mode. Vista does not that I'm aware of. However, Vista does play a lot of older games.

Thanks AVG.
Having read the article I must say I have my doubts about this XP Mode being able to run older games. Running old windows business apps is one thing, but running games is another.  A techy I spoke to today, who has been testing W7 for months, said that it currently won't run hardly any games that are more than 2 years old.

A motherboard I'm looking at has these graphics ports:
1 x PCIe x16 1 x PCIe x1 It says the first slot is a "x16" slot and the other is a "x1" slot. My question is, can I run two nVidia cards in SLI mode on a board like that?

Think about a duel boot for your system. One for XP and the other hard drive for 7.

Get a hold of Dowly. I think he has been running older games on it. I will dig further. Vista does play games over than 2 years. I was playing B-17 by I think Microprose. It played fine for a game like 8 years old.
