First, up, not true about 64 bit. 64 bit IS backwards compatible with 32 bit, but NOT 16 bit (DOS apps). 32 bit DRIVERS do not work on 64, but everything has 32 and 64 bit drivers. My computer is Vista 64bit, no problems here.
GTS260m is a good card, it matches a 9800gt, and is about 4x as powerful as the 8600.
Gotcha. Well, I guess I don't need to worry about which version of Vista to get anymore since my college requires 32bit for some reason (just read this on their website...). When Windows 7 comes out, I could always switch to 64bit. Anyway, thanks for the info. I just put in my order:
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9300
Video Card: nVIDIA GeForce GTS 260M
CD/DVD drive: DVD+-RW drive
Memory: 4 GB
Hard drive: 320GB SATA Hard Drive 7200RPM
Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit)
Warranty: 4-year extended, on-site warranty
Network cards: Intel® PRO/Wireless 4965a/g/n Mini Card
