    Vista 64 or 32bit?

    go with 64 bit,its the futurte.I had the same dilema a few months back when i built my rig. To be honest, 64 bit is painless, all drivers and programs work great. Would never switch back to 32.

    Creating own PCBs on plastic with printer

    Im no pro at this but from as i understand, you must print your circuit board layout on regular but shinny paper on a LASER PRINTER, then IRON the ink onto your pcb board.Then you should be able to just use your chems to wash away the copper which then leaves your traces in tact underneath the ink!
