QFT. I don't know why your vista blue screens on you, but I have had it running fine on 512 with a 128 base PCI gfx card. You can tame it, but it scales a lot better than XP does.

Also, since you will be likely mail merging and such for law school, I Am assuming you will be using the newest office, which in my experience, runs a ton better on vista.

vista has a lot of good productivity tools. It is not just windows->Theme = macOSX. There is a lot of hate out there for it, and rightfully so; I am still going to say I personally prefer vista.
