This isn't January 2007.. vista works just fine for most games (so long as they aren't DX8). The drivers for major hardware are fairly mature now.

XP cannot really handle 4 GBs of RAM. The most you can get addressed is around 3.5, depending on the motherboard design. However, user applications can only use 2 GB of RAM at most (the other 2 are reserved for kernel space, including non-ram hardware addresses), unless you enable the PAE hack, which can cause instability with certain applications.
