    Hey i just bought an Acer Notebook, and i have some questions:
    - First of all which model is it?? 5730 or 4700 because neither of them appear in the official Acer webpage!
    -Second, if the model were 5730Z, which is the "closest" name. Is there a way to get the drivers for that model for Windows XP? Because in I couldnt find those :S.
    -Third has anyone got this model? Any tips?
    The place where i bought it says:
    "NOTEBOOK ACER ASPIRE 5730-4700
    Intel® Pentium® dual-core mobile processor Windows Vista® Home Premium.
    T3200. Hard drive 160GB. RAM 2GB.
    Screen 15.4" WXGA high-brightness."

    I only see Vista drivers on the Acer site. You need to check your device manager and then see if you can find XP drivers for your devices by checking manufacturer websites. You can also check out the pages for other Acer notebooks that have the same devices to see if they have XP drivers.
