I have the inspiron 8200 which is a laptop, and slowly dying, it does have xp
just got this 1720 with Vista. The plus it was way cheaper, works great,
dell now does offer a great help line for problems. This machine has a super big screen, but I miss my xp! any ideas on xp or vista? I still am in the learning curve! For the price the 1720 was a great value.
Are you sure the 8200 is dying, or does it just need a good cleanup of temp files, spyware, etc?
Maybe more RAM? I'm sure you've added programs since it was purchased and some are loading at startup and using more RAM than was used when it was new.
