Windows XP because my computer might die if I try running Vista on here due to a few programs that I have on here.

My main computer runs 64-bit vista ultimate, while my secondary computer is running Windows 98SE. Vista 64-bit is flying now that I just installed 6gb of ram :thumbsup: .

Sorry LloydT.
