As buggy as Vista is, not to mention expensive, I don't know why in the world I see so many people recommending it!? Stay away from Vista or Me II, as it's also known, till they get it working properly.
There is no benefit versus XP with Vista unless you really want the eye candy which again you can get in XP. Also XP runs games faster and crashes far less than Vista.
Now to each his own but I would stay as far away from Vista as possible it's a hit and miss situation for everyone. For some it works good and for others it's a total disaster! With in the last few months I've converted 5 computers from Vista to XP because of software issues and hardware issues even with stuff that's suppose to work with Vista.
Vista is not a good buy right now no matter what hardware you are using with it.
Having said that look into Dell for your LCDs they has some nice ones at a fairly good price too! I'll reply back once I look around for stuff.
