1 - No , I do not , x86 systems are not affected . 2- No , I see no reason . I've read this patch was developed by a russian , so no trust by me. My PC is my choice , I do not install russian programs , I do not trust them. 

You mean this patch?

Yes, 5.9 is the maximum. And I guess that Vista runs blazing fast, even faster than later Windows versions on systems having a Vista WEI rating of 5.0+.

Yes , it is blazingly fast. No need for expensive hardware.

Speaking of expensive hardware, Vista compatible hardware is dirt cheap nowadays on ebay, especially in the US, but if you order it from countries like India, it literally takes MONTHS to arrive and Amazon does not have a wide selection of older hardware.

If at all this patch is Chinese/Russian, check this out:

There's nothing cheap nowadays . If you see a "cheap" price , that's for locals only . Ebay's "global shiping" price is just outrageous , it also has whooping fees , like for example , search for Intel G3470 , it costs somewhere between 40-50 USD , plus shipping (30 - 40 USD) , plus ebay fees "See import charges at checkout" and my country's VAT , it will be way over 120USD. I bought it NEW seven or six years ago for smth like 60 Euro (about 80 USD at that time). This used should cost no more than 20 bucks shipped. Will you find you find such price ? No .

Edit : just checked videocards . OMG 7- 8 y.o. GTX780 for 130 - 250 USD , plus shipping, starting from 70 and up to 180 USD !!! (plus my country tax)
