The problems with Vista is getting the programs you want to install to work with Vista.
We had a few compatibility problems with our Forex program for which we purchased the computer. After they were resolved by the company that has the software, no problems. But we are NOT using it for anything else at this time and probably will never use it for anything except our Forex.

Harry and Judith, hanks for the advice. Tiger direct will custom make one with XP, but THEN A GOOGLE SHOWED some posts with some complaints, but you can find complaints about anything. Also, HP will custom configure one with XP, but I only saw a 15" screen. I will try Dell next. I WILL APPRECIATE HEARING MORE ABOUT JUST EXACTLY WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEMS WITH VISTA ARE.

Check on what video chipset the laptop has... That will determine how well the 22" monitior will work. 2 Gigs is plenty... go for faster CPU; AMD will be less expensive and works better (IMHO)... Good luck getting XP... Vista was my only choice and I fought with it for 6 months before "downgrading" to XP... not easy since my Toshiba is geared toward Vista; had to find drivers.
