Just a note on Vista for anyone thinking of making the switch. This is not a simple switch to make and should only be made after some seriouse consideration. Vista [I]should[I] run on no less then 2 gigs of ram, just for the O.S. (So I have heard.) Also, once you do make the switch to Vista, there is basicly no going back to XP without doing some very seriouse re-working (Im not even sure a regular partition wipe would do it). Microsoft is REALLY trying to get people off of XP for some reason. Personally, I love XP and do not look forward to the day when I do have to switch, better graphics or not.
