    VISTA???? what!!!!

    you could have 30 gigs of ram with vista and it won't be anywhere near as fast as xp.. especially with sp3 (i have the rc1 release and xp is noticeably faster than it already was)

    XP 32-bit will outperform Vista... with the upcoming Service Packs.

    XP SP3 has been shown to beat out Vista SP1 in overall performance.
