Tribaljet, I just want this little netbook to run the best it can. On your recommendation, I will be downloading and installing windows 7 soon. I was not aware there was a trial version! I play a few games on it/ youtube/ word. It's basically my entertainment computer I take with me wherever I go, and if windows 7 and modded drivers make it able to run more games and better youtube, then I am game for that!
Thanks for all your help!
