Hopefully I will have my new PC (AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK, 8800GTS 512MB (G92 core), 2GB RAM 800MHz, 500GB SATA2, ASUS M2N-E SLI (about the weakest link), Lightscribe DVD-RW, 600W PSU), this coming week.

Standard it will come with Vista Home, we'll see how long it takes before I install XP... Since I like total control, it probably won't take long!

Carefull with that, some newer IO chipsets won't work swell under XP, and honnestly, with some -(really basic)- tweakings you have all the XP functionality under Vista.
I even would add more: on newer systems you lose installing XP.

Don't make the mistake to listen to all those juvinile.com talks, they only parrotin'eachother because they think it's gives them some credibility when bashing Vista. But at the end it comes to: "we are n00bs and we completely lack basic knowledge".

Don't be a sheep, make it up for yourself what Vista is worth -(or not)-.....

[Edit] Before some smartass gets the wrong idea: No, I'm personnally not very happy with Vista, that's the reason I'm still on my AMD64 3500+, I see no reason to get a newer and faster home PC.

The mobo shouldn't have probs with XP, Vista is pretty restrictive (worked with it on laptops that weren't mine), when it's my PC; I'm in charge not an OS.

he meant, those 'restrictions' can be disabled with the 'tweakings'
