I have never payed attention to Vista since it came out. Everything is running fine in XP. But since my current audio Desktop is maxed out and cannot keep up with my editing needs its time to finally buy a new machine.

Why is there 4 versions of vista???? (ultimate/ business/ home premium etc) Why???? Most machines are coming bundled w/ home premium but it is not supported w/ PTLE (only ultimate and biz versions are) I just also learned that I cant use a 64 bit vista or SP1 either, only 32 bit is supported. bla bla bla. Most of this because I choose to use Pro stools LE as my editing software. It must be the most anal AE program on the market.

I am having a hard time finding an already built machine that has:
~Vista 32 bit w/ ultimate or business without SP1 installed.
~Quad core 2.0 or higher (perhaps the Q6600)
~Ram expandable up to at least 4GB minimum.
~SATA II drive (s)
~800mhz minimum FSB
~ A non SIS chipset mobo
~ on board FW400/800
~3 open PCI card slots (at least 1 PCI express)
~ Non integrated Video card (256mb)

I was excited today when I found a gateway w/ Phenom X4 9550, 6GB memory, 256 video card for $750, but after checking out all the spec's it isn't compatible..............fuck me with a frying pan.
