Since all new computers are coming with Windows XP, what you really need to know is if that equipment is compatible with Windows XP. If it is it will work in the new Dell computer. As for you VHS camera, all you need is a video input card added to the order or you can install it later. Look at something like the ATI TV Wonder being added on. This will provide Coaxial, Analogue RCA-style connectors, and S-Video connectors that will be compatible with your camera, as it is not a digital camcorder. (For digitial camcorders, you'll need either Firewire, or USB 2.0 depending on the camera. USB 2.0 is now found on pretty much all new computers.) As for Windows XP Compatibility: The Deskjet 3500 series is compatbile (it's a current line) The Scanjet 4100C is also compatible. The updates for the utilities bundled are available from HP at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?dlc=en&lc=en&product=58394&lang=en&cc=us&os=228 NOTE: The Scanjet 4100C may not need to have drivers installed to work as Windows XP may support it natively.
