Vista mostly has a bad rap. Yes they did force Intel to say it could run on minimal resources and it does but not very fast I have it running on my two computers for my college work one of which is my CAD and parametric modelling workstation the other is for papers and stuff. I have a nice little box running Linux around here too. Just like any other tool being used for specific jobs.

bear, your starting to worry me with your obvious computer savvy
Bear, I was hacking on you for being Geeky (its just jealousy)
and its a D12 or D13 your looking for in the 21st century....and maybe a Delorian with a flux capacitor.
Wolfcsm - Although http://www.falcon-nw.com/ or Alienware http://www.alienware.com/ have some pretty neat machines there they are all WAY over priced for what they have in them. You are just basically paying for the name and those neat cases they give you. You could build something probably the same or even a bit better for a much lower price.
Edit: Also in Alienwares laptops they have been notorious for overheating processors. Always see them comin into the shop. Not to mention they are wicked heavy

Overclocking severely lowers the lifetime on anything and is not recommended. Take it from some one who thought she was cool by overclocking her processor . . Well guess what, ate right threw the thermal paste and burnt the motherboard. It was still usable however I had to keep a huge fan on it and take the side panel off or else the thing would just go into melt down mode. Had to put more thermal paste on the processor but the thing would still overheat and overclock itself (after I had taken it and put it back to regular). That computer went threw thermal paste like candy, every 3 months I was reapply thermal paste. Sooooo needless to say I will never EVER overclock a processor again. There is a reason they are set the way they are.
