[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 367122, member: 22866"] I would go with XP also. If you need to later on (probably much, much later) you'll probably be able to pick a copy of Vista cheap as most colleges have student licenses. I personally had to major slowdown using XP with 1 gig of RAM, but I allocated 512 just to Parallels, so maybe that's why. Anyway, I got a second gig and now everything runs smooth. If you can, I'd recommend getting 2 gigs, but buy it and put it in after you get your Mac because it's cheaper that way and won't void your contract or anything weird. [/QUOTE]
