Which OS? - Chief Delphi

The students that I have known in FIRST over my 8 years of involvement have been far more inspired by the competition and some of the jaw dropping creations of "elite" teams than by anything that we made ourselves. - MattB703 [more]

80 GB Hard Drive (Ubuntu)
Intel 9770 Quad Core

If there are any other specs you want I can give them to you.

Use Ubuntu only for a while. Wait until Microsoft announces a deal where if you buy Windows Vista you'll get a free upgrade to Windows 7 (probably for a few months before Win7 is released). Upgrade to Windows 7.

Once you use Windows 7, you will never want (or have a need) to use XP again.
