When I bought the i7, I had the dealer install Windows 7 on it, having 
heard that its UI fixed a lot of annoyances in Vista (which I never 
tested, btw).

Two days later I had them order XP Professional x64 Edition for me.

Works like a charm.

BTW, 64 bit is not mainly about speed, but support for more memory. You 
know, when rendering scenes with 8 GB of texture data and such...
