Eh, too many poll options lol. Are you a gamer? Sounds like you could've went smaller/cheaper by using an integrated graphics solution. I almost went with the Asus W3V (slightly more powerful than the W3N looks like) but the cost was...

Ditching Windows really isn't an option for me. I'm strictly a PC gamer these days so the "Go Linux and buy a console" wouldn't work for me. Luckily, I didn't have to buy XP for more than $40 so maybe I'll get lucky with Vista.
