But its a resource hog and it doesn't run everything and it always asks if I'm sure and and...

Yeah I haven't had a single problem and it runs smooth as butter.

Windows 7 is more efficient with resource use but I don't like what they're doing with the task bar...

Click on other security settings
Turn off user account control.

You are welcome.

I have aero running, probably 30 google chrome tabs open, listening to music, Pidgin IM running, and GTA2 running in the background. It's using a gig of ram on my 500 dollar laptop and running smooth as butter on a 30 dollar 2g stick. Ram is cheap, buy a ---- ton.

No way. XP > Vista


Using two separate Video cards is the shittier way for running two monitors IIRC. Do you want it to be extended desktop? ie one desktop split on two screens?
