Re: What kind of OS do you use?
I'm rollin' with WinXP at the moment :cowboy:... frankly, I wouldn't reccommend getting Vista until around next year. By then it'll have all the launch-bugs worked out and more programs would be compatible with it.

Nothing will have to be "ported" to vista. The issues that are persistent are due hardware drivers or lack thereof. That and directX 10 issues. There is no way to install a 64bit OS on systems that don't have 64bit support. True some early "64bit processors" where not completely true 64bit, only (somewhat) supported it. The machine my wife uses here at home was one I built a while a while back and has an EM64T that runs standard xp pro (32bit). The 64bit version of XP was crap for sure, I did run a 64bit kernal of linux on it for a short time without issues however. My current macbook and other systems with the core 3 duo processors also have 64bit capable processors which is cool for future proofing to an extent.
