Thanks for the suggestions guys. I guess I will be going with Intel then. About Vista, I've had some qualms with it. I'm not totally sold on using Vista. I'm still with the ol' XP generation I guess.
Although I
can be convinced if it won't be too expensive, but I am willing to go a little over for double the memory.
Oh, and I'm now at $870. But with all the rebates, my averaged guess is it will drop to about 830-840.
