Important things to know in buying a personal computer...

however Windows vista is 'better'
If you computer can handle it, go for Vista. If you only have 512 mbs of RAM or a crap graphics card, go for Vista Basic or XP (no real difference).

buying a computer depends on your budget for price if you want a goos fast PC i recommend at least
for vista home or vista basic or even XP
2.8 GHz and above
dual core
at least 1 gb or RAM
128 GPU (graphics card)
or if you want for gaming vista etc
3.2 GHz and up
dual core
2 gig RAM
256 GPU(graphics)
the pc i have for chrstmas xD is
AMD X2 64bit
6 GHz
3 Gig RAM
Vista Ultimate
1gig GPU(graphics)
buying a good PC can cost from £150 - £600+ but depending on your budget depends on the specs you get (unless you get a extremly good deal)
I have to disagree with this:
If you want your computer to make your life harder instead of easier, then go for Vista. Otherwise, XP will suffice.
YOU NEED A DUAL CORE!! NO MATTER WHAT! 2 is better then one! lawl
yeah i have to agree with you on that VISTA IS NOT WORTH IT - i used to have it i used it for 6 hours and never again!
why not build it... you'll save quite alot of money... newegg.com is the best place to get parts...
Okay, for the first set up, that would be ideal for an XP Pro SP2 or SP3 (if you are a beta tester) except upgrade it to 256 minimum on the video card.
For the second set up I would personally make it 3GB of RAM minimum and 512 on the video card.
As for your set up...How do you have a processor that does not exist? 6 GHz AMD X2 64 bit? Considering the fastest clock that they have for the Athlon X2 is 3.2 GHz.
Okay on a positive note...what video card/s do you have? and how much did you spend on it/them? I'm looking at upgrading my video card, and hopefully buying Phenom Quad Core soon. But before I do, does anyone have any reviews of the Phenom or of the Intel Quad Core, so that I can make a good decision. I am wanting to go with quad but as of right now, I'm not exactly sure which I want to go with.
