    Hello all,

    Have any of you used an Acer Timeline 3810 or 4810 with Win XP Pro on it? Until now, I assumed that all Timelines ran some form of Vista, but after Visiting Acer America's website, I discovered that the following two Timelines do come with XP Pro on them:

    AS3810T-8640 - US $679 approx.
    AS4810T-8702 - US $749 approx.

    I'm not up to speed on the few issues that seem rampant on the Vista Timelines, so I'm curious to know how well XP Pro runs on these machines.

    Thanks!

    Wow, I'm kind of surprised that nobody here has bought a Timeline with Windows XP Professional pre-installed! :confused:

    Anyone?

    installed xp (and dualboot with w7) on mine.. though it came with vista.
    Xp runs fine, just installed a version that works with AHCI and runs great
