Get a better cooler - Xig HDT S-1283V

+1 geofelt and jsc.

For video encoding/editing you'd we way better off with a Quad. Q6600 is fine. Add a TRUE and OC to 3.33/ 3.6

I'd recommend getting 4850 CF with a GA-EX38-DS4. The board is also better for OC

Upgrade is a retail version which gives you support from microsoft, unlike OEM(AKA system builder),
and allows a more hassel-free ability to transfer the os to a different pc(motherboard).
For $10, microsoft will send you the 64 bit DVD.
I saw Vista home premium upgrade recently at Costco for $85, amazon for $89.
There is a legitimate two step instalation process to install an upgrade version
You install vista from the cd, but do not initially enter the product code.

Just tell the install which version you bought, and do not activate.
After it installs, you have a fully functional vista for 30 days.
Step 2 is to insert the cd again, while running vista and then do an upgrade.
This time, enter your product code, and activate.
After activation. you may delete the initial version which is named windows.old.
