Well, I took my income tax refund to the computer guy today and came home with an Athlon 4200 dual core box today. It runs great. It also came with Vista home premium edition. After five hours, I find myself wanting my XP pro back. Maybe a few more days of tire kicking will change my mind. I'll let you know.

Oh yeah. My web cam is no longer compatible.

Wow...sorry to hear that. I've been very happy with Vista (I don't have a webcam). A few things didn't initially work for me, but I found service packs to take care of Vista issues.

Hope things get better for you...
