This system has Windows Vista Premium (64-bit) installed on it. I've used Vista before and didn't see any probs, but as soon as I started installing games and other applications, I realize what I was in for. I am now getting super slow browser loading times and flashes on the screen every now and then.
I am sure that one of the programs I installed, that installed ActiveX and Framework, messed things up. I've since tried to get the lates drivers for my graphics card, atc, but no help.
I may just install Windows XP on this system, or just return it. What do you guys recommend I do?

Your fault for going with gateway
I run a desktop with a simple core 2 duo with vista 64 and it runs fine.
It amazes me when it comes to desktops why people waste there money on company built desktops that come with OEM Windows and a bunch of preloaded crap.
BUILD YOUR OWN DESKTOP, and buy the real version of windows, not some OEM POS.
