    So I have XPS M1730 with 8800GTX SLI

    I installed both XP and VISTA. And I changed the CPU from T7700 to X7900, overlock the CPU from 2.8GHz to 3.4 GHz, then I can hit 13795 marks on 3D mark 2006 on VISTA.
    But, the problem is, no matter what NVDIA display drive I choose and used on the 8800GTX SLI, I can only hit approx 6000—7700 mark on XP. This is so weird. And I absolutely have no idea what is wrong with the performance of 8800GTX SLI in XP. Do you know why? You see that even single 8800GTX could be able to hit more than 7700 mark.
    So, I am a gamer, and most games like ARMA2 run more smoothly in XP rather than in VISTA. So I really want to use XP for games. And I really want to play ARMA2 well.
    I hope you know the reason and could be able to help me.

    Thanks and best regards!
