Had a chat with HP the other day about my laptop...
So, I was thinking of starting to use my laptop as I want to be out of the house but with a computer but my laptop has Vista on it. First, I got it as a graduation gift, but it had XP MCE on it first but HP replaced it for free because of all the problems with it (overheating, battery not charging, etc). So, long story short it's only got 1gb of RAM on it and Vista. I've wiped the drive and did a fresh install when I got it and uninstalled the bloatware they put on it, but it's still really slow. The chat I had with them was if they offered a downgrade to XP on it and they said no. Then I asked if they had the drivers for my model for XP, again they said we don't suggest you downgrade to XP it could break the system.
Now, does anyone think this will happen because I need a laptop but it's so damn slow you can't do **** on it. Should I try getting XP on it or upgrade the memory in it and just deal with Vista on it?
