[QUOTE="Johnny Drama, post: 4575002, member: 554719"] Just a quick [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif[/IMG] to the people telling you to "upgrade" to XP... For one its not an upgrade. With the introduction of SP1 to Vista the performance of Vista is as good as XP. Second, support for Win Xp will stop April '09. So pay a few hundred for an OS that will last you for what? a year or less? or pay the same amount for an OS that will be around for longer and have better support and features coming. Its not an upgrade to revert back to XP. Dont let anyone on here fool you. I said the same thing when Vista came out and after actually using it...I found it to be jsut as good. The same tards came out when XP was launched. Get Vista Home premuim or ultimate. For the processor, if the more expensive is a newer platform and has better cache go for it, if not then stick with the lower. Hard drive. Personally I load my stuff with music. Id go for the biggest 7200 speed drive you can get. Get 2+ gb ram try and get a 8800gs or similar dedicated graphics card if you're going for an XPS...no reason to pay that much if you arent going to make a gaming machine. Cause in all seriousness if you're just using this laptop for school dont get an XPS. [/QUOTE]
