I'm getting: (or plan to get)

CPU: Yorkfield (currently waiting price to drop when the Yorkfield is out on the Q-series @@")
GPU: Quadro or FireGL
Mobo: EVGA 780i if I'm getting Quadro
RAM: 8G 1066

Do the drivers from these conflict with the 64bit system or XP/Vista?

Go with XP, it's far and away the best choice.
Really? when will that come out?

In fact with the proper drivers Vista is more stable than XP, I haven't blue screened yet.

Also when a problem occurs with your display driver in Vista, you don't have to worry about a blue screen and your PC rebooting in Vista. The display driver will reinitialize itself without ever blue screening your PC and restarting it unlike XP and previous Windows iterations.
Will Vista have conflict with the drivers I listed above? and with Maya, 3Ds MAX, or Visial Studio 2005


I also heard that Vista has some issues with tablet and Photoshop PS3, or is it fixed in SP1?
