[QUOTE="Joshtruction:780335"][QUOTE="handinjury:780330"]I use XP currently, but since XP is dying on 6-30 maybe its time to take the Vista leap. I was also thinking of just installing XP on the new machine, but I read somewhere that XP will only recognize up to 2.5GB of ram, that would defeat the purpose of having 4GB of ram. [/QUOTE] XP pro lets me run up to 4gb of ram total. No more than that though. With vista you can get a lot more (not sure what the cap is) ram than XP. A nice stripped down version of XP pro also uses a LOT less resources than any version of vista and seems to be more stable in a recording enviorment. That makes it so you get the same performance with less ram. Of course there IS the limit though so it is all in choice + what you think you are going to get in the near future. I did a quad core computer for a guy that runs tons of symphony and other VST's. Edirol orchestral, philharmonik, some of the east west collections, korg legacy collection, waves diamond, storm drum, addictive drums, guitar rig 3, Nuendo and he had me install a few others for him too. He is firewire to a firepod and has an M audio midi controller (think it is in the radium series). He is 100% happy with the 3 gig XP system I built him. Quad core intel, 3gig ram, 750 gig slave hd and 250 primary, budget PCI express video card, dual layer dvd burner, and silent air cooled case. Vista will be the way to go probably, but XP is still bad ass in the music production world if done right! Not to mention XP rarely ever has driver troubles that I have bumped into with the whole vista/interface issues.[/QUOTE]
