My five year old computer that's running Windows ME is dying a slow painful death. Thanks to advice that I've received here at HTF I've decided to select my new system from Dell's refurbished pile. After price important factors on which system to buy are RAM (at least one GB preferably two), video card and processor. The final deciding factor is which version of Windows to use. I was set on holding out for Vista before one of my coworkers told me that I'd be better off using XP. In his spare time this guy builds computers from scratch so his opinion carries some weight.
According to him ME is the worst version of Windows that has ever been released so I figure that a brand new system running Vista equates to the best of the best. I know that there are growing pains associated with using a new version of Windows but those pains are probably easier to deal with than the crashes and slowdowns that I've been dealing with over the past five years.
What do y'all think?
