Vista is fairly good for normal usage. For gaming, its totally trash compared to XP... atleast for now.

2GB is preferable for Vista, 1GB is sufficient enough really.

Mac's are the devil's doing. Mac's dont get spyware and stuff cause nobody uses em :). one more thing, Vista is ok.. Nothing really better than xp, If you can go xp do that with a dool boot.

Macs are pretty much not able to play games natively. There are very few games that are able to run on a mac. Additionally, macs have major ripoff prices! The hardware is so overpriced, it makes alienware look like a bargain. It also makes me cry.

To put things in perspective, my girlfriend's mom works for apple. They can purchase 1 pc every year at 60% off. My girlfriend was looking to buy a new pc for college, and a DELL with better specs at full price was cheaper than a Mac at 60% off.

Honestly, go with a Mac, as at least with an intel Mac, you can still run Windows if you absolutely have to.

But between the two OS's right now, XP is a lot better for gaming over Vista. Vista will likely need a service pack (or six) before it's finally working properly.

More like I don't need an OS that treats me like I'm the thieving criminal after spending $400 on it.
