Backup every thing Vista has a backup program that works well if you have a spare drive. UPDATE your intel chipset for your M/B. There have been some problems with old intel divers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Although as others have stated, if you are happy with where you are right now in Vista there is no reason to upgrade. DX11 will be supported on Vista.

(IMHO of course) If you are upgrading from vista ultimate to 7 ultimate you dont have to do a wipe, but it gives you the option and everything I have heard and experienced says to do that. You dont have to though. If you dont you will keep all your programs and settings etc, just be warned, the installation will take quite a while compared to a clean install which took less than an hour when I did it.
