Well, for graphics I wouldn't upgrade yet. Graphic card drivers haven't been fully optimised under Vista for OpenGL as of yet. I certainly see no reason to upgrade yet....and as BAR-CODE has already mentioned, I also won't be upgrading for a year.

Now, a lot has been made about Microsofts OpenGL implimentation for Vista...most of which is total rot! Microsoft have never fully implimented OpenGL within the system and Windows has always (for the sake of argument) relied on the OpenGL from the graphic card manufacturers.

In bench marks, OpenGL within Vista has been only slightly slower than XP...but as I say, card drivers haven't been fully optimised.

Wait a year...there is no rush or benefit to upgrade yet.

Cheers
