Bwaahahaha, that'll teach you to buy some overpriced gpu! Installed Vista on launch day and it's pretty decent.

I got the same CPU as you but with Asus Commando mobo 2x1GB Crucial PC2-6400 3x320GB Seagate sata drives for RAID 5 MSI 8800GTX Enermax Libery 620W PSU Thermaltake Xaser III tower I've had for a few years Tried Vista on it but didn't have the drivers for the graphics card (100.59 out today, gah!) so I'll be sticking with XP myself for a while too. Runs superbly, and is very quiet!! Ok, the graphics card produces enough heat to warm the entire flat, though :) I built my new system last week, got part from ocuk and Dabs - both arrived very quickly and without any bother, though the mobo box was a bit beaten up.
