XP Pro has been extremely stable for me on several machines. If you dumb-down the visuals it looks like W2k but runs better.
If you do stick with Vista turn off the user-protection crap and also dumb-down the visuals and it can run ok with 1gb ram, but not as well as XP.
And the sooner you reduce the eye-candy the less yoyu will miss it
