Microsoft is going to offer free upgrades on PC's in the comming Xmas season. I did several installs and found it best to do a clean install instead of a upgrade.

I'm running Vista on a P4 3.4 HT and it runs pretty quick. The one place you want to be sure about is a lot of memory and a fast graphics card. I couldn't get the Eforce 6200 card to run with my rig so I put a ATI 1300 pro in and it runs like a champ.

Vista has lots of eye cand and its pretty darn Impressive.

Jerry good point on the amount of memory that is an important factor Thanks for the info on a clean install good to know. I'm biased when on the processors, love the latest and greatest, but since I bought a laptop in May with a core duo, just not ready to upgrade to the core 2 duo.
