    ok so i bought this computer off of craigslist and i was wonder if it has multitouch?? the guy i got it from said it did.
    it is also supposed to have DDR3 memory in it but belarc adviser says its running at 266mhz system bus??? this machine is supposed to be 1066 right?
    also it has a vista business key sticker on the bottom but it has xp installed on it..??? and the recovery parttion has xp on it also?

    The x200 can only use one type of ram, which is the DDR3 ram, no other ram fit. Multitouch is not a software implementation, but rather a special sensors placed on the back of LCD.

    What is the model number of the laptop by way???

    Also, the person installed the XP downgrade discs which wiped your OS out, you can still get the Vista discs from Lenovo for 50 USD.

    Your machine does NOT have multi-touch (or LED for that matter). It also has XP preinstalled, but you should be licensed for Vista. However, I'm not sure the easiest way to get a disc (I'd probably wait three weeks and upgrade to Windows 7).
