“I have: 1GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm....DARN!

When I purchased a Dell laptop last last June, for my daughter, I was given the choice of XP or Vista. She chose XP. This time I wasn’t given a choice.”

Yup it sucks...and it kinda forces you to upgrade the memory to 2 gig which blows if you’re trying to stay within a budget. XP works just fine with 1 gig of RAM.

You may want to buy a copy of XP off eBay or something and install on your new laptop.

Since we have three XP laptops & one PC, could I use one of those OS disks?

Two 1 gig sticks should only cost about $50.
