    It's time for a new workstation. I've been running XP 32 bit w/ the
    3GB switch but would like to move to 64 bit with the next system and
    start fresh w/ SW2008. Does anyone know when vista 64 bit will be
    supported or am I better off running with XP 64 bit? I've been liking
    AMD the past few years but it looks like Intel is faster now.
    Probably a dual or quad core Xeon w/ 8GB ram. Does hard drive
    configuration matter much? I'm working locally but my computer may be
    used for extra storage / backups from other computers. Any
    recommendations or opinions would be appreciated.

    Asus workstation-class mainboard
    nVidia Quadro FX1500
    Intel Core-2 Duo E6750
    4GB DDR2 RAM to match mainboard selected
    2 x 10,000RPM SATA-II or 2 x 15,000RPM SCSI/SAS drives
    (unless using boot drive + 2 RAIDed drives)

    As it was told to me, best bang for the buck on the planet!
