Not having a go here but WHY is XP better than Vista, and service pack three is purely a joined up Service pack one and two and nothong else. Service pack three just gets rid of the 90+ updates you need to install after running in XP Sp2.
As I say I ain't having a pop but I've asked this on other forums and as yet nobody can give me a conclusive answer.
XP uses less resources than Vista, but Windows 98 uses a whole bunch less than XP and DOS even less.
We have to be able to swallow the upgrade if we ever want to move on and unfortunately XP will come to it's end of life before too long.
I've been running Vista for quite a while now and will admit it lacks in some departments but there is a SP1 in Beta test at the moment. What it cures I have no idea.
As for 64 bit versions I should have learnt my lesson with the truly abysmal XP 64bit that virtually nobody supported.
So
Why is Vista Pants and XP so great ??
As for machine Spec the box I put together in August last year has
Abit mainboard
4 gigs DDR800 high speed memory
512mb ATI X1650 video
250gb Sata2 hard drive
AMD Dual core 64+ 4800+ processor
450w PSU
3 fans all speed controlled
and a load of other garbage
Including Vista Ultimate 64bit it came to about £450 or about $900
