Vista 64 bit on M4300

For those interested in Vista 64 bit you can buy it out the box from Dell on their M4300.

Below are the Configuration Details of a M4300 Vista 64-bit system I put together. No delays indicated on anything. Although the weight of the M4300 is 7.0 lbs without 2nd HD.

[For those interested in Vista Ultimate 64-bit on Dell's flagship workstation notebook, the M6300 (17" WUXGA, Duo X7900, Quadro FX 1600M) you are out of luck. For some odd reason Dell does not offer it with any 64-bit OS. Its a bit like selling a Ferrari with the rev's limited at 5K.]

Would be nice if this site did review the M4300 and M6300.
