Default Re: Windows XP or VIsta For New System?
The 32 bit version of XP has a lot more support for just about anything, and very few applications have embraced the 64 bit era. I'd suggest sticking with 32 bit.

Also, I see that you have a Core 2 Duo E6320 picked out.

If you do decide to go with the 32 bit XP, I'd suggest getting a Core 2 Duo E6600. From the quick pricing I did, it seems the E6600 is about $80 more, but runs at 2.4GHz compared to 1.8GHz. If you can upgrade to that and don't mind the little extra cost, that's a pretty significant speed increase.
