And edit I'm running Vista 64Bit which is an even bigger drain than XP is
Who cares if its overkill?
A 50" tv might be considered too much, but I call it futureproofing
Now, since you had no valuable contribution to my thread, please close the door behind you
Edited to say - I use a lot of memory and processor hungry programs - Autocad for design and development of my projects, video editing software for route learning dvd's I produce for work and various other stuff
