Nope, and I will tell you why. WHile on a Mac I could do all of the the productivity I need to do but then I wouldnt be able to do all of the fun things I also want to do, like gaming, Myst just hasnt done it for me in 14 years. Also I like to continously upgrade my computers as long as I own them until I cant squeeze any newer hardware into them, the Mac just doesnt provide the upgrade paths I look for in a computer.

So you admit you haven't looked at games for Mac in 14 years.

Exactly. My rig I built over 4 years ago still runs all of my demanding apps just fine. I'm an animator and a gamer, but I've been squeezing every little bit of power out of her since. I upgraded piece by piece; went up to 2GB ram, went to a geforce 6800 from a radeon 9700pro(I still have this card its lasted me until this last year), I still run a AMD 2600+XP Barton core (Overclocked the bejesus out of it) LOL! All of this still running on an n-force2 motherboard rofl. Talk about scalability I built all this for under a $1k originally and put no more than another $400 in upgraded parts her since. I'm on my 3rd power supply lol.
All of this aside I don't think I will upgrade Vista anytime soon. XP has served me just fine for many years now.
Thanks for the FYI about nvidia's poor drivers lately, I need to run nvidia because of their better performance with open-gl applications.
