But you will need Vista for DX10 ... I don't have the 8800 yet, but the 8800GTS is down to $299 and who knows what it might come down to after more DX10 cards come out ...
But I just put Vista home premium on a Seagate 320GB hdd sata 3 16mb cache and it runs great ... I love it ... had some problems with Creative sound drivers, but I switched to the mobo sound and it sounds better than my sound card did.
The new ati video drivers are still being rejected, but it will all work out ... Vista ain't going away, it's getting better everyday.
One warning put Adaware on before you surf the web ... I added a bunch of new (what they call) gadgets to the new sidebar and let some trackers in. Blue screened me for a couple of days, before I figured it out.
Great recovery, repair system ... I'm very happy with Vista ... I have XP on two other hdd's in case I need them, but they are getting older and farther away everyday.
