Vista or XP dell computers help me decide which is faster

[mapex]

Basically at work I have a Dell Dimension running XP Home on a P4 520 at 2.8ghz with 1 gig of ddr2 pc3200 ram. I have the option of switching to a newer Dell running Vista Home Premium with a x2 3800 as 2.0ghz and 1 gig of ddr2 pc4200 ram. Both computeres are running a Matrox Millenium G450 video card which has roughly 32mb of ram. The newer dell has a 200gb hard drive and dvd burner, and the older dell has a 80 gb hard drive and cd burner. I've played around with the Vista machine a little bit and it feels slower although it's only been runnning for about 4 hours. For all purposes business related with a lot of multitasking and office use in mind, would it be wise to move to the newer dell with Vista? Thanks
