XP Pro. Vista is still troublesome in certain instances - missing
drivers, strange hangups, etc. according to my contacts.
One company I contracted to consistently recommended Dell computers.
In the past I had my desktops built in a no name box so that I could
spec the components, but I think my next desktop purchase will be a
Dell. It's so much less hassle to say "Mr. Dell send me a 12345.
Thanks!" and plug the thing in when it gets here.
For notebooks I use only ThinkPads. I could not live without a
trackpoint, and they are consistently as reliable as any other. My
current work computer is a T60, dual core 1.83, 3 Gb RAM. It works for
me, and for my photography. (Hence the RAM).

Greetings R:BASErs
I will soon be purchasing a new computer.
Would anyone be kind enough to offer a recommendation or two on what
to consider? Dual core? Quad core? Windows XP or Vista? Good/bad
brands? Best value, etc.?
Best database to use? No wait, I already have that!!
I'm probably staying with a desktop unit for now. Maybe a laptop by
year end.
Off list is fine unless others might be interested in the topic, too.
Thanks for any suggestions.
