Many people hate the idea of caching, but personally, I don't care if half my ram is used up, it enables my applications to load about 5 times faster than it did in XP.

So unless you really want to know what every last chunk of your memory is being used for, Id recommend getting vista, with a large chunk of ram, instead of xp which operates like a blind geriatric looking for his slippers.
