I really want to change our test platform to the new Windows Vista OS. Unfortunately, it released a scant three months ago and driver performance from both NVIDIA and ATI video cards is not up to par with XP performance at the moment. Until performance and the software can support Sysmark, and other tests on the new OS we'll continue to use Windows XP. Once we change our platform it will likely be to a new CPU, and video card as our 3.8GHz Pentium 670 is single core and not representative of the latest CPU advances.
