If you buy XP now then buy the upgrade to Vista in a year you'll be
throwing away the price of XP. If you get a full version of Vista you can
dual boot Windows 2000 and Vista or if you just want Vista, a full edition
will also remove the need to do have 2000 installed to get.

Spend some time in microsoft.public.windows.vista.general. Post your
machine specs and hardware. Ask for input from anyone who is using those
components. Also specify what programs you want to use.

Vista should run great on your system.

Thanks, Rock, that sounds like good advice, I'll start looking into it.
