New pc=New OS Vista SP1 & XP SP3
My pc
CPU Type: Intel Q9450 HDD Capacity: 500 GB Memory : 4GB DDR2 800 Mainboard: Asus P5N-D Video Card: Nvidia 9800GTX + 512M Case: Antec Nine Hundred Power Supply: ATX 600W It does not come with a OS, i have both XP and Vista installation discs. I will be doing regular thigns like word processing, surfing, editing of videos and music and mostly gaming. Which OS is right for this pc? (and if its vista, do i go with 64 or 32 bit?) Thanks

The system has plenty of power to run Vista, and if you went that route, you would want 64bit.
XP may not be able to utilize some of the cutting edge technologies to their fullest.

Vista 32bit can't address more than 3GB of RAM, whereas 64bit could. However be aware that 64bit still isn't as compatible as 32bit for software and hardware although it is getting better.
Either way I would go for Vista, just as sbenj69 says it is a powerful enough machine to run Vista  hth RF
