    I had thought I saw the drivers for this on Dell before, but when I went to start installing, I saw there are now only Vista drivers. Additionally, when I go ahead and try to install it, it blue screens during setup, very early, repeatedly.

    Anyone have any luck with this?

    After now using Vista for the first time for a month I really hate it compared to XP. Literally everything is slower, graphics, processing, wireless connection. Everything is harder, too. Always more steps to do anything. I haven't seen one single additional feature that would make up for any of this. It really is a downgrade.

    Thanks.

    I guess you can't do it.
