There are any number of combinations that will work for you if you choose to upgrade and in my experience you should go for something quite new if you want to use Vista as your OS. I found with older equipment the drivers just didn't quite stack up. Have a look as the profiles of some of the other members here to see what they are using. (Including mine if you like.) Frankly I'd say upgrade and go with Vista rather than stick with older technology as it will provide you with better support going forward.
