Will you upgrade hardware for Vista?

~~Ammalgam~~ · May 12, 2006, 02:39 AM

Hypothetical question, does anyone here plan (at this point based on what they have seen) to buy any new hardware to run vista? What are some of the things that make you happy or tick you off about the Operating System?

I am doing research for my website...

Perhaps newgen graphic card. Nothing more. Won't even get Vista. Will migrate to Linux...

I am not going to visit your site there, but to answer your question. Yes. I will be upgrading my hardware. I plan on moving to a 64 bit CPU and therefore 64 Bit Vista.

This PC has served me well since about 2003. It's time to build a new one!

personally i doubt you will be back.....

probably not. the only thing that will require me to upgrade will be games and other software, but not vista itself.

Well I still have not made up my mind. I will be doing a 64b upgrade later this yr. So I just might go the Vista route on my machine but the kids comp will stay XP for sure.
