Just had my main hd crash on my main desktop pc.
Its unrecoverable so i'm faced with a RMA replacement and a rebuild

Given that im gonna have to rebuild Im wondering is now
the time to jump ship to vista ?


Ive got a athlon 64 3500+ and 1gb memory
graphics card is a geforce 6600gt (agp)


Should i stick with xp or would vista be a sensible move at this
stage and if so which version (32bit or 64 bit ?) of the premium
edition

Opinions anyone

Thanks in advance....

Vista would not be a sensible move at this stage, or probably at any
other.

Here is your opportunity to install an operating system on your PC for
the first time in its life.

Clearly it will thank you for installing a Linux distribution and the
extra performance,
functionality and stability will amaze you.

The best part is that for the money that you will save by not putting
money into the pockets
of Gates and henchman (Linux and applications are essentially free at
point of purchase)
you will be able to afford a respectable backup arrangement for the
machine.

Yes, this is your opportunity to return from the Dark Side into the
Light.

There are 64bit versions too. Still free.


Lol
I appreciate the sentiments (already have 2 debian linux pcs in the
house) but i need to have a windows pc for other non linux stuff and i
need to have microsoft office etc (ive tried the linux versions and they
dont support the advanced features of word for eg)
