    Hi Guys

    Have just done an upgrade on my 8930g ... T9500 cpu and 2 7200rpm 16mb seagate momentus drives.

    Cant say i have liked Vista since day one .. a few progs i use (work related) tend to crash, but work fine under XP .. now the Q is .. is this machine backwards compatible?

    I have found a few drivers, but what concerns me in the acer empowering esetting etc

    great site btw ... have already done the 3515 upgrade, T7700, 7200 rpm seagate, Win Xp its like a comlplete new machine

    Appreciate any help

    Johnny
