    For anyone else looking at this thread, this guide is for the Vostro 200 alone.

    If you want a bit more in the way of performance, you can fit 2x1GB DDR2-667 PC2-5300 RAM for £9.90 to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead. Drivers to be found here

    Not at all necessary, as the system will function perfect well with the 32 bit OS and the existing 2GB of RAM.

    Have followed your instructions and tried to send you the direct link but can't send you a PM as your box is full

    I just read your latest messages on the forum and I'm confused, I wanted to re-install Windows XP!

    No you didn't. :) Though even if you did, the update does not affect that state of affairs.

    Try sending me the PM again.
