    You've got the hardware power to run the crappy system hog that is Vista, so why not.

    As mentioned above, best plan is to hold out until Windows 7 and slap that on ASAP.

    Anyone using the BETA release of Windows 7, and if you are how goes it?

    And if you can, anyone willing to burn it and post it rather than me killing my cap ?

    Most people love it, they say it's fast and looks good.

    Just personal pref. And it has nothing to do with ram. I just find XP more user friendly and clean as opposed to Vista.
    Agreed I also have some apps etc that just don't work well on Vista. I do however think the OP should run Vista due to his system specs.

    No problems even though it's only a beta?

    It really depends, I use Vista for its looks more than anything. XP is just looking dated now, seriously.

    I Run both operating systems on seperate machines
    And I have to admit that Vista, despite my earlier reservations has really surpassed all my expectations.
    For instance, on my laptop, playing CoD 4
    My graphics card driver would freeze ( fixed with new updated driver ) but my CoD would simply black screen for a second, Vista would recover and re initiate the service and CoD would be back, not down long enough to get disconnected
