I had various performance problems on 32bit xp, and ever since i finally made the choice to put 64bit vista back on my system, i haven't had no problems since.
My system is more stable on 64bit vista than it was on 32bit xp.
i notice that this is only with nvidia cards and i had a look at your specs and saw that you are running a ati card maybe ati does not have this isue and it might just be nvidia drivers on the 8000 sireies causing the problems.

As I said in an earlier post – Everything runs rocks solid in XP with no issues ever. The 100.65 drivers mentioned actually cause a blue screen on startup, there the worst of the bunch.
I’ve even gone as far as installing the viewsonic drivers for the display. This has zero effect. I even tried switching from DVI to VGA cables with no effect. I suppose theres a couple things I haven’t tried…
1) upgrade bios on GPU and/or bios on motherboard. – Still bugs me though because XP plays it all great with no errors to speak of.
2) Is there anyway to not install the SP1 even though its integrated…. Probably not?
After my experience I would be amazed to see a computer run more stable on Vista than XP.
