it sucks if you wanna play games and edit lots of footage, anythign that requires a huge amount of CPU usage, vista sucks for it. I turned basically everything in vista off, just so i can run stuff smoothly. other then that, its aight

good price for everything you want, but vista in my opinion is a waste of money.

Well then I guess I'm safe, cause I don't do any editing - video wise. I'm more into photography.

Vista is a bitch for anything other then office uses and basic internet use.

Its a memory hog, if you wanna run anything semi-demanding (editing, games, multitasking) you need to have a decent processor with atleast 2gb of ram. The 1gb min requirement is for BASIC use, minimum system stress.

You dont need Vista for anything really, XP works way better right now and doesnt bog down you system nearly as bad.
