Sounds good. I've done this before on other vendor's laptops and machines, but I've always found that there is some minor thing that doesn't work well with the OEM drivers and work better with the original vendor drivers (wired/wireless...

BTW - I just found the Driver download area for the XPS2, but the question still remains if it would have everything I need. It seems to, but I'd like more confirmation.

OK - so I went ahead and got a couple stacked coupons and got me an XPS II with 2.13 Ghz Centrino, 100GB HD, wifi/bt, 2GB of RAM, etc... Now I never like using vendor provided OS's so I ordered it with the cheapest option, XP Home,...
