Where is the WinXP CD code located by
~~Alan~~
I recently reinstalled WinXP on my Dell Laditude laptop using of course the
supplied reinstallation CD. That and the drivers CD did the job and gave me
my system back without the "crap" like 3 month trial versions of AOHell,
Earthlink, Mcafee, Norton, etc. Enough of that, sorry for the rant.

Processor Question by
~~Alan~~[_4_]
I have a Dell Demension E510 system, about 3 years old or so. I believe it
is an Intel Core 2 Dual processor and I read (in this NG actually) that I
can run a 64bit OS. Is this so, can I install and run Windows 7 64bit?
Thanks,

Windows 7 with a new PC from Dell by
~~Alan~~[_5_]
So I was on the Dell website scoping out a new PC. I'm looking at a Vostro
220. As of 1/1/10, it comes with Vista and for extra $$$$, I can get
