first i find it annoying using vista...the grapical thingy eats up alot of ur memory...now u can configure with windows xp...choose xp first dude...or, u purchase with vista then uninstall it and install xp urself...wait for the sp only u reconsider using vista back...so far im using windows xp without any problem...all the drivers u need is available for download already...thats my point of view u can take as reference... biggrin.gif

I oredy got a Dell 9400 using vista so kinda used to it alredy.. coz both model im taking are going to be having 2gb rams. should be enough to cure the lags.

Uninstall vista and install XP laugh.gif If compare 7900GS and 8600GT GC.. which has better performance on a laptop..?

just got my 1520 inspiron sunshine yellow. so far owning this laptop feels like not owning one....1st time boot up hang, many times boot still hang,reinstalled windows vista my self, i installed Dirt cannot play, installed my NFS carbon cannot play, still got crash. today very very fedup i reformatted the laptop and reinstalled everything again.
so far the performance...still my P4 out performs it. i have no idea why is it like this. is this normal for this spec?

C2D 2.0ghz
2gb Ram
8600gt
vista home premium
