    Well I bought a new Asus Laptop and it came pre intstalled with Vista OS. Well I think Vista sucks like no other I have had two other computers. One has Xp and other has ME I think XP is wonderful but ME well Vista is the new one ME IMO. I want to make sure I can play games on it so I don't quite know about linux. But can someone help me I don't know if I can install Xp on my computer. Help would be appreciated.

    Hmmm...well I'm not really familiar with Asus...but why not try calling them directly and asking just to be on the safe side...I'm not sure why it would be a problem though..

    Alot of people have made drivers for vista, not only that vista was made for a more graphical UI, which will make all graphics better including games, aslong as you have 1 gig ram plus i think you should be fine. But like before if you have any questions call them up.

    I'm sure you'll be able to find drivers for windows xp. Just give me the model number of your laptop and I'll check for you if you want. Do yourself a favor and remove that OS ASAP.

    Hi,

    Use everest home edition (google it) to get a list of your current drivers and download/save them on a disk..

    Then reformat and everything should be okay!!

    I really hate vista too because I can't play some of games that use older versions of opengl. (i.e. counter strike). I'll only upgrade to vista if i have to.
