Re: Don't Install AIM 6 on Vista
I wouldn't even suggest installing a Microsoft OS before the first service pack. I'm still on XP SP2, and mighty happy. My Vista x64 install will wait until '08. Then I can bump up my system's 2gb of RAM to 4gb and it'll actually be able to utilize it, too. Vista x32 can only utilize 2.75gb of RAM, as my dad found out yesterday when he upped his RAM from 2gb to 4gb.

Also I suspect that 4-core CPU's will be quite a bit cheaper next year, so quad-core, 4gb of RAM and maybe even SLi on Vista x64 seems pretty attainable.

EDIT:

Also, before anybody says it:

You can run SLi mode on Vista. nVidia and it's distributors have released updated drivers and stuff to make it possible.
