Planning on picking up a new PC. Truth is, it is for a dedicated Mame/Daphne/etc box and doesn't really need a lot of juice, so I could just go out and buy an el cheapo box for that purpose and be done with it. With this shiny new OS coming out, though, part of me is thinking I maybe ought to get a more high end one with Vista preloaded when they come out in a few days and use my current computer for Mame.
Anyone know enough about Vista to know if it's worth paying more for? Really, I just use for PC for tunes, surfing the net, photos, and some word processing, and my current computer is a 2.8GHz P4 with a gig of SDRAM, so it's plenty of machine for what I'm doing and would frankly be overkill for a Mame box. If Vista is going to be the standard in the near future, though, I'd just as soon get on board now rather than buying a cheap computer now and another in a few months.
Also, anyone know how much of a difference there is between the different versions of Vista?
Thoughts?
