Satisfied with the near stock OEM HP Q6600 quad/9600GT running X86 Vista for video, web and gaming.
The E8400 dual clocked to 3.9Ghz/HD4870 running X64 Vista on the other hand, while delivering fast gaming performance, has far too many unresolved network issues due to Windows, making it unsuitable for anything but gaming.
When Windows 7 SP1/2 is released and Intel releases the "tock" Nehalem CPUs, I'll probably give it another shot in a year or so along with a current dual GPU VGA solution.
