    I finally ordered m1330 (a year of no intrest really sold me, and the solid state hard drive). I have a copy of Windows XP 64-bit and 32 bit, my plan was to get rid of stupid Vista from the machine, does anyone know if all the drivers from Dell's support website is all you need for Windows 64-bit?

    And does anyone know of a good backup software that I can use to backup everything including the OS (you know that whole XP gets blowted over time and its nice to give a fresh install but I don't want to have to redownload all the drivers and stuff).

    Lastly i'm going to add RAM to the system, I've got the 2.0ghz machine coming, is this the proper RAM to add? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145172&ATT

    There are other threads on the topic - yes, Dell has almost all 64-bit drivers you might need on support.dell.com (not necessarily under the M1330), though one or two have to be obtained from outside/other vendors.

    That link you posted is the correct type of RAM - DDR-667/PC2-5300 (or 5400) SO-DIMM.
