    I realise that its a personal choice... but I wouldnt put a 6 year old OS on a new laptop. XP x64 isnt very well polished next to Vista x64 (let alone 7) as it was MS's first attempt at shipping an x64 OS.

    That's the reason you will install Updated Drivers, they will take care of the Hardware improvements, but the OS behaves pretty good, it's simple, light, fast, stable (it's the same Kernel being used for Windows Server 2003). :D :D :D :D

    Don't really see a guide being needed as Dell has the drivers for XP 64 on there site.
