Hi John,

All depends on your hardware, there's a checker on AMD's website that tells you whether Vista will run on your setup. Be warned though there are things you can't do on Vista that you can on XP..copyrights things if you know what I mean:mad:

I think there's problems if you wish to revert back to XP afterwards for any reason too mate. Probably the best idea is run both systems on a dual boot setup for the time being ..............

I'm holding off 64bit Windows as long as possible. The driver support is just not there at the moment. the only real advantage of 64 bit is the ability to address HUUUUUUGE amounts of RAM (i.e. >128 GB( which you ain't gonna see in your average desktop for a good few years yet.
