    Well... I would like to know what version of Windows Vista is being shipped with these e1705, 32 bits? 64bits?

    Also... We know that the Windows XP 64bits it's a shame and the WinXP PRO SP2 32bits it's the best choice for Windows XP right now.

    What about the Windows Vista? The 64 bits version is better? Doesn't matter? No problems at all with games?! etc... coments.

    Edit: I got a Windows Vista Home Basic coming with the notebook next days... I know that the Home Basic is really 'sick'... and I'm thinking in format and install the WinXP Pro SP2... suggestions?!

    My e1505 has a c2d and came with a home premium 32 bit. I don't think that dell ships any laptops with 64 bit vista. I might be wrong tho.

    I have a 1505 and if I knew how awful and unusable vista is, I never ever would have bought it. Vista is a trainwreck.
