Hey everyone. Ive got Vista Ultimate and a few things don't work.
Like when you go to START/COMPUTER/PROPERTIES none of the buttons in the top left work like task manager an them.
Its like that on a good few windows i open.
Can't think of anything to fix them.
Thats jus one of the many problems.

Anyway if I was to start fresh with XP again would it take full advantage of my quad core and all that?

Intel Core Quad CPU Q6600 2.40 GHz

Let me no if any of ye know anything on it.
Thanks!!

I'm going to answer your heading, seeming when others click your message, that's what they expect to answer, I know I did.

Any Windows version can go on any new Hardware.
But...
Many new Hardwares have been designed with Vista in mind.
This is especially true for manufacture computers sold with Vista OS
And therefore some drivers (Audio so forth) may be nearly impossible to find to work with older versions of Windows.

Therefore it is advisable to first confirm all Windows Xp drivers are available before reverting from Vista to Xp on new computers sold.

But Windows Xp itself will still work.
 
Nothing really will take full advantage of your quad. not alot of multi threaded applications out right now but multi applications at once is where it will shine. XP will be fine until Vista has all the bugs worked out or wait 'til Windows 7 that will be here in 2010.

That could lead people to believe that you could use Windows 95/98/ME on a multi-core CPU. :p
