So I got a new machine for work pretty sweet, built it with 8 GB to start with Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83Ghz with GIGABYTE Intel P45 Motherboard, 1TB SATA HD, 2x Graphics Cards each with Dual DVI out, HDTV/S-Video and a wicked cool gaming tower.
Anyway, put it together loaded Vista Ultimate 64 bit, loaded CentOS 5 setup my dev environment and everything was just peachy.
