Since I don't plan on using Windows that much anyways, I figure I can live with Vista. In other words installing XP would be a huge PITA. I thought about installing XP, but then I read about how I would have to get SATA drivers and slip stream them into the Windows XP CD and that Dell didn't have XP sound drivers for the 1720. ![]() Unfortunately, the Dell Inspiron 1720 only comes with Vista. So in summary, we replaced a TV room, massive CRT TV and couch with a 17" widescreen laptop. A laptop was the best idea as it allow us to use it as a MythTV frontend and watch TV from bed or any other place in the house. We then found ourselves in the situation where one of us wants to watch TV and the other wants to use the computer so we definitely needed another computer. We recently got a 24" LCD for the desktop computer and decided that we could use that as our "TV" and computer and get rid of the TV room and use it for something else. ![]() ![]() The TV was a huge CRT TV, but not only that, the TV and couch took up en entire room. Previously we had one Desktop computer and a MythTV server/frontend and a TV in a separate room. A little background information on why we got this laptop.
