    From what I heard,Windows Vista has 7 versions for us to choose and the windows vista capable sticker can be pasted on any laptops that can run basic versions of vista.I know that the M1210 has the windows vista capable sticker, but is it able to run premium versions of windows vista at a tolerable speed?

    I did a complete (well, mini) preview of the XPS M1210 running Windows Vista RC2 64-bit (Build 5744), and it is the full blown "everything with the kitchen sink" Ultimate version over in the Dell forum last week.

    Perhapes you should go take a look. It should answer almost any questions you have regarding Windows Vista capability. :)

    It will run Vista Premium if you have 1gb or more of ram AND if you took the "premium graphics card" (as said by dell). They're probably talking about the nVidia GeForce 7400 Go TurboCharge since it's the only other card besides the default...
