I use a Dell Inspiron 9400 maxed out, came with Vista, I ripped that fucker out and put xp in.  I run ableton, occasionally audiomulch, maxmsp and some vj software simultaneously with multiple midi and usb devices.  

Never have a problem...

I thought that there was a way you could "downgrade" Vista to XP, built-in. But I don't know about this first-hand, just a rumor. If you make an XP partition, you'll have to find drivers for it - maybe the downgrade eliminates that issue.
