Other than YA entertainment game, that is. For more HD, would not a NAS running on Gigabit Ethernet actually have better I/O than the laptop-class drive within a Mini? 1000Gb Ethernet can run smaller applications but using a drive for video editing, 3D rendering or gaming is no dice. Try it.

Windows Vista is a definite improvement over XP and since console games have never had any interest for me any game that is Vista compatible will be fine. In my opinion once you have met all a games hardware requirements increasing hardware requirements does not add much to a game performance.

Vista vs XP gaming performance
Either one, Vista or XP would work well. It has been reported that some games may not be supported by Vista, yet. Vista may run slower than XP, too.
