    Well, im going to pick up a new macbook pro tomorrow and i will be installing windows onto it. I've always used XP but wouldnt mind a change to Vista if it will work fine with the applications i use. I will mostly be using windows for online poker, photoshop, autocad and 3dsmax.

    There are a few different Vista options which i just dont get - which is the most popular for a user like myself, is 32 or 64 bit the new standard?

    Here is the spec of the laptop http://www.apple.com/au/macbookpro/specs.html .. Ill only be going for the basic pro model (2.4Ghz, 2gb) as i just want something until they update their 17'' model in January. I think i read somewhere it has a 32bit chipset so im thinking the 64bit vista will not work on it?

    Anyways, which vista option would you recommend or should i just plant XP on there?

    I'd recommend XP. It doesn't look like you'll have any problems running the software you listed. It's an all round nicer OS than Vista IMO.

    You will run into less problems with bootcamp by running a 32bit os.
