Yeah I would have XP as the primary OS. I would just like to learn and get used to Vista. It's nice to know how to do stuff with it especially since I have a lot of family/friends who tend to come to me for computer advice.

Now I gotta decide what RAID to use. Which one would give the best performance? Another thing is losing the data. In my experience Western Digital drives have never failed on me, but I've had a few dead Seagates and especially Maxtor's lol. I do back my stuff up on an external HDD every time I add something new though. (like college work, CV, websites etc)
