Depends on what you are going to use the computer for. If you stick with windows, I say go to XP PRO. It is better then Vista, you have more control then XP Home, and I think you can use more ram with XP pro.

Hope this helps.

I've had no joy with Vista, at least the Home Basic package. I have 4 machines on XP Pro 32-bit and they work without a hitch, I have one machine on XP Pro 64-bit. This is a quad core beast with 4GB of RAM. I needed XP Pro 64-bit to handle the RAM and because most of my video editing and 3D software recommended 64-bit, and all of it installed and runs without a hitch. But, some software does not play well with 64-bit, like iTunes that can't install the CD burning applet...So, unless you need 64-bit, use XP Pro 32-bit, even if it means the Vista downgrade.

XP 64-bit was my original decision to install on my new PC. I did a lot of research online, and I noticed that it has a LOT of shitty problems and terrible support. Most manufacturers moved onto 64-bit Vista (which I run). It's my only choice for the system I have, and I am pretty happy about it so far.

Avoid XP 64-Bit though, if ya can. Sometimes this is unavoidable though...

update... switched to Vista 32 bit. I have to say its pretty nice :smile:
even w/out an added gpu, which is next on my list... I just need to figure out how to turn off all those stupid security scripts. YES ! I want to allow that program to run, YES its ok for it to connect... blah blah blah. Dumbest idea even in an otherwise pretty slick os.

PS - Never knew the JOYS of 22" wide screen until now too - its almost orgasmic :-)
