Yes your fine.mretzloff said:Is it? I'm buying a Dell Inspiron 530 with 2 GB RAM and 320 GB Harddrive. Is that enough to run Vista on? I'm not buying the computer to play games. It's for word processing, digital photography, homework, and accessing the Internet.
Am I buying enough memory?
personally I would agree. Vista offers no significant gains in productivity and in fact, can cause issues.bushwhacker said:My advice. Stick to XP, save you boatload of money and life of your laptop.

You have to be careful what you said about dell. It does provide the xp drivers.
@mretzloff It is useful if you have the service tag handy, so the driver database can narrow down to required files for you to download.
Dismissed.

Please explain this:
"You have to be careful what you said about dell. It does provide the xp drivers."
There are 29 current drivers for Vista, 19 for XP.
This is what I said:
"3.There are not all the XP drivers available that may be required"
