Basically i am looking at upgrade as a few of you know.

I was looking at a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ but i'm now thinking bigger, now i'm looking at AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+.

I need a CPU that is pretty much going to last for 2 years or at least a while.

Thoughts? other CPU suggestions?

Or if they have a significant amount of time to fix the mistake and they don't.

The prices on items in shops/on websites is actually 'invitation to treat'. When the person clicks 'buy' or brings them to the till, the customer is the one making the offer to buy, and it's at the shop's discretion whether it wants to accept the offer. You can't actually demand to buy things if the price is marked incorrectly. The only legal technicality might be that the shop/seller is violating the Trade Descriptions Act.

I have some old music programs that won't run on XP. :(

Can I partition my HD and have Win 98 on it or something like that?

Well, until games and apps are written specifically for Vista, then most people will probably be ok. You of course, don't (and can't) play the modern games on your pc.

I have no idea about your application requirements. I personally need Visual studio .NET 2003.

That's a win98 no-no.

Have you seen the suggested specs for Vista? Although I imagine you're suggesting that people simply stick with Xp.

Look at the machine requirements for Vista too before settling on a set up as you don't want to be in a position where you need to replace half your PC again just for an OS.
