    From what I understand, the 1810 only has a certain amount of configurations is this correct? it cant be customized? What is the BEST 1810 available if it cant be customized? Another concern I have is it having Windows 7 Home Edition.. I have some programs that worry me with Windows 7 compatibility and I was wondering if there are any other options for XP Mode since the Home Edition of Windows 7 does not offer xp mode :confused:

    When you say customizable what are you looking to customize? Some programs will have comapatility issues but unless you do the Windows anytime upgrade you probably won't get virtual XP. A suggeston though is if you are going to do that be sure to get a dual core that will support it!

    When I say customize I meant like pick the processor.. Os.. Ram.. I cnt find somethin like that on the acer site.. So what is the most powerful 1810 that's preconfigged?

    I just want to be able to run xp programs until they r upgraded.. So is there any config for the 1810 that will let me use xp thru a virtual os?

    The most powerful is the 1810t with a dual core su7300. It comes with Win 7 Home Premium, though. That version doesn't support xp virtualization. I believe only pro and ultimate has xp virtualization.
