One item:  buy more memory.  1GB minimum.  And if you want to see the new
Aero GUI, make sure you buy a good video card (256MB minimum video memory).

Don't trust Dell to configure things right.... I got called over to a
friend's house for a "PC is really slow" problem.  Some pinhead at Dell sold
her an XP machine with 128MB of RAM.  I suggested buying 512MB module, and
got the "Wow, what a difference! - What did you do?" line.

I hate to do this on the ferrari list but lots of you guys are techs and I
am 
not!

I need to order a new home computer. Usually get a almost top spec Dell.
Have 
just found out that Dell UK only offers Vista on the machine I want.

I have heard lots of stories about problems with Vista not working with
older 
software/hardware. I dont want to buy new printers and get new software for 
all the cameras/printers/scanners ect.

Anybody have any thoughts on Vista now that its out 9 months? Would software

made for XP automatically not work with Vista? Its going to be a new
machine, 
do you think I will have fewer problems?

Anyway to get XP still on a top of a line new computer or should I take the 
chance?

Help!

Many thanks
Britt
