well,
If you have XP now, stick w/ it until Windows 7 comes out
Vista has DirectX 10 support (as does your video card) but there are only a couple of games that really take advantage of it (FarCry 2 being one of the most noticable)

I would stay with XP for the time being, I dont know what your system will be like with Windows 7 but i would really recommend not installing Vista on to it.

For the hardware you listed: Stick with XP
