XP has been known to run stable past 4GB, simply because it just doesn't see it, but Vista will see it and confuse the sh*t out of itself. Don't even waste your time with Vista, it's a horrible OS and it just trips over itself constantly. Stick with XP if you have to, or make the switch.
Are you sure about that with xp? I have xp running on a celeron with 512mb of memory and the bootup time is roughly 27 seconds.......

Get a Mac and run bootcamp on it. It's been proven that Windows runs better being emulated on a Mac 
. But I will agree with you, I do miss having all that software support. I can't make copies of movies in under 15 minutes anymore 
. IF I do it, I have to use 2 different programs, but oh well, can't have everything.

Broken Motor Mount = FIXED!! 
But here's the good part...while retrofitting my stock BPV, I found a lick of oil in the return outlet - not a lot, but enough to make me go "hmmm" (like the C&C Music Factory song, if anyone's old enough to remember that one) - so when I went down there, I had them give the ol' once over. They told me that whoever installed it *cough* *cough* Conicelli *cough* may not have installed it correctly. So they're gonna order me a new line and put it in there next week. $0 out of pocket...whoopties!
