So I just bought a cheapy $550 Compaq Presario C770US laptop from newegg last week. I just wanted something for school work, primarily... Its an Intel Dual Core system and it came with Vista and all the normal extra stuff they put on there. Well I immediately killed that and put XP on it instead. I found out that the XP drivers dont seem to work perfectly and the Wireless drivers dont work at all. I'm kind of getting pissed and I cant restore to Vista since I deleted the 13GB Vista recovery portion of the 160GB hd
So now I am sitting here trying to figure out if I want to go out an purchase Vista or not. I would certainly lower the settings as much as possible and make it less bloated, but would it still weigh my system down? I don't know much about it still, but I do know that I would at least have full use of my hardware. I love XP but if Vista would run better, then I would use that.
Someone let me know
Thanks
