Get another monitor and a dual head graphics card then install XP.

Nah, jk... you don't really need all that extra stuff.

I use XP and it works just fine for me.

XP works nicely, the only other one I would suggest is Win2000.

U should have held out for Serial ATA! 900Mbps, how do you compete with that? As for the OS, install a partion of 2000 for Video editing, a partion of Xp for gaming/everything else, and a 3rd partion for all the rest of your info.

Uh, where do you get 900Mbps? The third generation of SATA will be at 600, and the current version runs at 150 but since all controllers are south of the PCI slot they run no better than an ATA-100.

Anyway, make sure it's XP Pro, not the crappy home edition (anything with the "Home" subtext on it is crap)

Oh, if you buy an OEM copy, XP Pro costs $149, plus the cost of whatever hardware you pick up with it (could be a cheap $2 mouse or something, doesn't matter). Non-OEM you're looking at $299.

What's this "Will be" stuff. SATA already exists. They had working models back in early 2000 and just as recent as October 2001 they had them pulling said 900. Hell they are already posting stats on SATA2 which is boasted to have speeds upwards of 1500mbps. It's not going to be debuted however for several years. Just because something has yet to hit public eye does not meant it doesn’t exist. Anybody want some stats on 16X 3GI/O (aka: PCI Express)?

What's OEM? What does it stand for?
