I've decided to build a new system and would like some opinions.If I want the fewest hassles is it better to stick with XP Pro vs. Vista? Any advantages? It will be a shared home use computer along with FS9 & FSX.Intel E6850 core2duo or Q6600 quad core cpu?What's a good ASUS or other brand motherboard? I doubt I will overclock it. Thanks in advance.

If you want the fewest hassles go XP for sure.I use the Asus P5K deluxe with a Q6700 CPU and a 8800GTS 640MB on Vista and XP. Vista has the option to run Acceleration D10 features, but its not that different.If you want a simple value setup, no overclocking, use intel fan, etc, I'd suggest going with the 6850, 8800 with 320MB, 2GB ram, on XP.Good luck.
