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


Its an operating system.


In the minimalist definition of that. Almost.


You spend 99% of your time in applications not the OS.


One would like to hope so.


Unless you want to use one or more of the applications supplied with vista
why waste the cash?



That's true anyway
