    Ok, So i ordered an XPS m1330 the other day, receiving it in about a week. I did not pay for anything better than Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, because I already have Vista Ultimate 64. Will it run smoothly with the below configuration? Also is there anyway I can install Vista Ultimate so that all the proper XPS M1330 drivers will be in place so I dont have to reinstall them all through dell website? Thanks for any answers...

    XPS M1330, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.2GHz/800MhzFSB, 4M L2 Cache), 3GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm, 13.3 Inch Wide Screen WXGA TL WLED Backlit LCD with Camera, 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS, for XPS M1330, 160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive for XPS M1330, Integrated 10/100 Network Card, 8X DVD+/-RW Slot Load Drive for XPSM1330, Integrated High Definition Audio 2.0, Dell Wireless 1505 Wireless-N Mini-card, 56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery, Fingerprint Reader.

    ohhh...it has not been shipped yet..expecting it in about a week. What is the return policy for something like that? Also wondered does Dell have that policy that within a specified period of time you can be refunded money if a greater sale comes up.

    All the info is here if you just look for it under search. The build problems are over-dramatized. People come here because of their problems, not to brag that they got a great system so 99% of posters potentially could be here because of issues.

    I have received several and none have had any major problems whatsoever.
