Moving to new Hardware and CFEclipse

I ordered some new PC hardware on Friday. The new machines will be the basis of our new development environment. My current desktop machine has been a bit sick recently and the only way to recover it would be a complete rebuild. Windows Explorer becane Windows Exploder, every time I tried to run more than one copy of it it would crash and take the desktop down with it. Most times the destop would recover but not every time. I addition the 800MHz machines seem to struggle with Flex2 and AJAX. I ran the vista hardware check on my current machine and it failed on every count. So if I am rebuilding might as well do it on new hardware. What about the Operating System? Well Vista seems to have issues with SQL Server 2005, so I plan to use XP and perhaps upgrade later. So the hardware has to be Vista Compatible. When I install the software I will not intall Homesite. Instead I will be putting in the new version of CFEclipse. As a long term Homesite user I think it will be better not to install Homesite. I'll blog more about the learning curve and let you know how I get on.
