Vista\>XP in my opinion… I haven’t come close to utilizing all of my memory yet so it’s not even an issue. Should I go back to 98 because it used even less memory than XP? :rx3: ---

honestly running xp on that will work like a charm esp. the 32bit version, vista just isn’t there yet, even tho sp1 fixed alot, but if i was you i would run xp pro, what are you using vista for anyways?? ---
