No it isn't. There's no such thing as a "Mac" anymore. It's all the same architecture now. So the base PC is the same.

First, anyone using the 32 bit version of any OS on a 64bit machine is just shooting themselves in the foot.
Vista 64 is able to handle 16gb of RAM.
XP64 runs SLOWER with 4gb of ram then with 2gb of ram. Trust me, I was mighty pissed when adding ram made the system slower.

Yes its true Vista uses more resources then XP, XP used more then 98, 98 used more then 95, 95 used more then windows 3.1.... Notice a trend?
Hardware is also getting cheaper and cheaper, there is no reason a computer that will render video or whatever all day wouldnt have 4gbor ram in it.
That silly test they ran on a computer with 1gb of ram... wtf, I cant even build that computer on the dell website with only 1gb or ram. So why did they do the test with only 1gb? couldnt possibly to skew the results could it....

Why? At the current moment more than 90% of all useful Win software is 32bit. So is there a serious reason to use 64bit OS? I don't think so, because 32bit code runs a bit slower on 64bit OS because of thunking.

Vista64 and XP64 are able to handle the same amount of RAM. Vista64 has no advantages over XP64 there.

Sorry but I can't trust you because I know how exactly Windows uses memory

Actually If you run some applications that utilize all the available memory (e.g. if you're rendering some complicated 3D scene, or just editing some high-res big-sized PSD files etc), the operating system will use swap file instead of RAM, and course it will work MUCH slower. So there is a simple rule: more RAM = higher system performance.

Apple's machine run much more efficiently than most pieced together Dell or HP crap, and the operating system blows away Windows.

It is sad that Microsoft is putting deadlines on computer makers to install Vista on their machines.

It will never happen until you upgrade your hardware to Core Eight or something :-) I downloaded a tryout of Vista and was not able to find a driver for my ADSL modem. After that I wiped out Vista. Probably for good :-)

yes I have.
but either my computer is not fast enough for it or I didn't tweak it well.
the main thing is, right now, XP is doing everything I need it to and I just to dont' see a good enough reason to switch.
we all know it time we WILL switch to Vista but I think now is not a good time.
