[QUOTE="TurdFergueson2, post: 4574367, member: 579108"] Vista is usable, but not XP. If you could "find" XP, I would but another hard drive, load that on it and use that. I think if you wipe vista from the original hard drive, it voids the warranty. JBizzle said use 2 gigs, that's true. But depending on what kinds of apps you're running you may want more. Vista is a memory hog. Solid state drives are fairly new technology. IIRC, it is like a big *** flash drive. No moving parts. It is the future of the hard drive market, but too expensive and not enough space. The Macbook Air was the first to use them I believe. 250 more for a 250 gig? Dude you could buy one from the store for less than that.
