    So I'm looking into buying the iBUYPOWER CRZ-93XE from Circut City. My only problem with it is that it is running Vista. Does anyone know how to downgrade it to XP? I looked on the iBUYPOWER website and they had the drivers for all the computers--from their site... Has anyone purchased this computer?

    * I've already looked at Best Buy.
    * Don't try and turn me to a different computer...

    Thanks.

    I have the iBuyPower CZ-7, and it's the same barebone as the CRZ-93XE. So our laptops (assuming you buy) are both made by Compal, specifically model IFL90. You can get the drivers from compal.com, or here. And just a note, when I bought my laptop it came with drivers for all OS' on a CD, XP and XP 64, Vista 32 and Vista 64. I don't see why yours wouldn't too.
