Just wanted to ask something from other poser users... i am considering buying a new laptop that has 4 gigs of RAM, a dual core processor, the works.... BUT comes with Vista 64-bit.... i loathe Vista, as soon as my last computer (a desktop with only 2 gigs of ram) was delivered with it, i formated the harddrive right away and installed windows xp sp3 right away, no issues at all..

Therefore, my plan about this laptop would be to just wipe out Vista again and install xp sp3 on it... but, can sp3 understand 4 gigs of ram?? and is it possible that some of the drivers of the laptop won't be compatible with XP?? and the whole 64-bit system won't ruin something, as i'd be installing XP 32-bit (i dont have the 64-bit version)... ??

any experience about this anyone may have had, i'd appreciate it to read about it... thanks in advance.
