What about vista SP1? Doesn't that make the difference? I'm deciding whether to go with Vista or XP Pro for my new build.

I built mine for around $350 after rebates.


Guys I just wanted World of Warcraft to look its best. :(

DM, that's about the same that my new build would cost me, if I bothered with the mail-in rebate stuff. $400 flat as is (mobo, video, cpu, ram, case, cooling). I bought Vista a long time ago, but had to reinstall XP when ASUS wouldn't bother to release drivers for my mobo. Another concern was losing access to Nero 6 and DVD Shrink. Thing is, I haven't copied a DVD in over a year, and I just got Nero 7 which is Vista friendly. So I pretty much have no reason to stick with the old, besides nostalgia or some perceived speed advantage over the new (which I doubt, with my new CPU and GPU driving things). You'd best believe I'm running a bunch of 3dMark tests on it, before I decide on which OS to keep.

$20 for 4GB- which is fucking amazing.


I paid $135 for a single DVD-RW drive 4 years ago. I bought its replacement two months ago for $22. You're fucking right that's amazing.
