    IMHO WinXP is not worth it. Maybe makes DX9 games gain 1-2 FPS and certain applications play nice with XP better.

    As for backing up the 15GB, Go get yourself a package of DVDS

    I highly recommend Udi's as I used them and they worked just fine.

    just keep in mind that if go to xp you will loose your tech support.
    dell will not give support to a vista shipped computer with xp.
    its the only reason i dont install xp myself.
