A guy at work bought a new computer with Vista in it, he took it home, hooked it up, turned it on and it went nuts, and then the blue screen of death!, he took it back, and they told him he can't hook it to cable net, untill it's up and running, because it immediately started to up date and screwed it up! They gave him a new one.

We tried one computer for the 2 of us, that didn't last to long, we have had our own for yrs, they are equal size Dells, up untill these, my dad use to build all his own also, but he is, in his mid 80's and just bought a new lathe and table saw. I just took his chain saw away from him! he thinks he can still climb trees!

We run SW. The latest box we bought my designer runs Vista Pro 64 bit compatible. Twin processors, 8GB ram, 500 GIG 15 krpm Raid 1 drives, and cost about $3500 w/o the monitors.

Similar to your experiences, SW does no yet work right with Vista 64 bit. They are working the problems. We have no choice; the sizes of some of our models requires a SOA 32 bit box 30 minutes to just open and they are unstable after that.

Stick with it; soon you will be up and smokin' SW ..............

I'm with Denny, I build my own.
I just built one this spring when I went back to school.
1000w power supply, 8 gig of dual channel RAM (still have room for 4 more gig), AMD X64 6000+ dual core, twin Nvidia Quardro 1400 video cards. Two 500 gig SATA hard drive, 11 cooling fans-including processor and vid cards. Was thinking about water cooling until the head egghead reassured me that "they hardly leak that much more, kinda sorta". Oh yeah, a HDTV DVR card for those nights when Survivor is on and I can't get the wife to give up the remote. Also picked up a 22" LCD.
Running XP Pro, wouldn't be caught dead with that chrome polished turd called Vista.
Total $2,300
Would run over 5 thousand if I went with one of the branded manufacturers.
