Plasma displays: they combine the fast response time, color accuracy, and contrast ratio of a CRT with the sleek, modern look of an LCD panel. Too bad they start off at 40".
How the hell is that system too old for Vista? Ninja edit: Keep Vista. I've installed vista on far slower systems than that (oldest one was an AXP 2400+ w/ 1GB). Your system will run Vista fine. The tiny decrease in gaming performance won't be noticeable with an 8800GTS.
Probably just your anti-virus software scanning everything in the folder. AVG 8 does this on my PC, which runs both XP and Vista. It takes more than 30 seconds to completely open a few of my networked drives (because the file server scans it before sending it, and the receiving computer re-scans it).
Does Creative still have issues with Vista? I know they really had problems. I love my sound.Domobomb
Vista itself is great, but Creative still seems to have issues with it. My X-Fi Extreme Music occasionally stutters badly under Vista. Sometimes it'll even drop out completely, forcing me to reboot if I want sound. I have both XP and Vista installed; under XP the thing works like a charm.
IE is better! Based on my highly scientific Which One Feels Quicker test, IE is speedier than Firefox. Plus I like to keep the amount of "alternative" software on my computer down to a minimum.
