I don't mind Vista so much. K-Trix had to kind of walk me through it when I first got my laptop but now I'm fine with it.

I may be agreeing with you. I've been hearing such conflicting stories about Vista I decided to give it a try myself. Some love it and some hate it - we'll see.

I still have my XP Pro install that I can use if I decide I hate it.

Well I have had none of the Issues you Describe and I'm on my PC ALOT...

Not bad....except of the Vista part.

I keep an XP disc at home for re-formats or rebuilds....My wife had Vista on her laptop....it didn't last the first day.

It's rubbish...particularly if you use your rig as a gaming platform.

Ok the new system is up with all the new components and is running fine with Vista.

Btw I wound up putting in 4GB of the G.Skill DDR2.

Windows Performance index rating is as such:

Proc: 5.6
Memory: 5.9
Graphics: 5.9
Gaming Graphics: 5.9
Hard disk: 5.9

Should be all set - Vista is purring like a cat. I have had to turn off some of the annoying shit that's on by default however. The 'user protection' tool that comes up whenever something executes was irritating as hell.
