Re: I may go back to XP Pro

Nataliew, Vista 64 can handle more memory -- up to 8 Gb, I believe -- but there seem to be more hardware problems. The 32 version is like XP; it cannot handle more than 4 Gb of memory.

My XP system died so I bought a Vista Home Premium middle-grade system; haven't had any problems with it although there are a few quirks. If you are happy with your XP system, though, and don't have to change, you may be just as well waiting a bit. On the other hand, if you have a friend who has a Vista system, try it -- you may just like it!
