Without wanting to sound stupid (probably there already), is there a reason why I need the link to the drivers?
2GB modules are more expensive. If the Zoostorm has the Celeron 900 processor, you are wasting your money if you think that it will perform better than a Core2 Duo T7100 for playing Football manager.
In addition, I didn't know you could play that game on Linux.
The Drivers are for a clean install using a Windows 7 SP1 disc if you decide on that route.0 -

Well, seeing that I can't find a battery for the VAIO that isn't a "compatible with", it was the next best bet.NiftyDigits wrote: »In addition, I didn't know you could play that game on Linux.

Now this is something I would like to try and do. Not sure if the OH has the disc provided with the laptop. What's the best way to create a Win7 SP1 disc if I don't have the original?2021

It's not a good bet.
You can buy an original battery, a replacement with the relevant chip inside or a model that comes with a firmware update.
You can download the genuine Windows 7 image from Microsoft's distributors.
Someone will provide the link shortly. If not, I will do so later. I have an appointment now.0
