Same version, same Game, same settings, same hardware (well, accept the case, but I seriously doubt that made a difference).
Wait, I just thought of something that changed. In XP (both versions) I had the AMD dual-core optimizer, I didn't in Vista. I'll download that and see what happens.
Dipped the FPS by 1 or 2, but didn't change much.
I think the reason Vista was slower for you was because you didn't disable everything. I've stripped the system down, and it use less of everything than XP besides RAM. And seriously, if you don't have 2GB by now, go spend $20 on a 2 gig upgrade.
Plus Vista handles resources better (in distributing them and such).

Back from the grave and working on textures.
