I believe Vista in out on 10th Jan 07... but it keeps movin back.

Now you want Vista, 32bit or 64 bit?? 64bit can support shite loads of ram...

Which kinda Vista, there are 4 types... not just a Home & Pro XP style.

Don't go for a quad core. The core 2 extreme is actually faster then the quads and you won't be able to take advantage of 4 cores for a long time.

Right on... You would be paying 700 more dollars for a slower processor while you wait for the software developers to utilize it. (They are just begging to utilize duals). You can expect the quads to be cheaper when you can acutally use all the cores. Most boards that support c2d's will support intel quads.. me thinks.
