You might consider one with a microphone in built as your model doesn't incorporate one internally.<BR /><BR />As for the Vista upgrade, if you are happy with XP and everything is runnong fine leave it for now and wait for service pack 1. This will fix some of the more major issues with Vista and will save you from having to deal with them.
