Thread Starter 
Hey I have a 700m, and I really want vista home premium, except the video card on here is intregrated.. and i don't think I can upgrade it ( as much as I want to!) .
I contacted dell, and had no luck. Does anyone have any info on this, or anything I can do?
I've had this 700m since it came out, and I love it, but just ready for vista, and all that. And don't have the funds for a new laptop.
Someone please help!

Newer integrated gpus do actually run Aero, but I dont think urs is capable of doing so smoothly. I suggest just turning off the Aero feature in the display settings. All ur losing is the transparency and the fancy 3D tabbing between windows. But it wont prevent u from running vista. Just make sure u have at least 1gb of ram, and ur computer will run vista just fine w/o all the fancy eye candy.

Yeah, the 700M has Intel Extreme 2, fairly old for integrated. Make sure you have at least 1 gig of ram and it should be fine like Adinu said.

Ditto the others. And unfortunately you cannot upgrade the integrated graphics as there is no graphics expansion slot on your motherboard and the chipset does not support it anyways.

700m does not support Vista. It has an older motherboard which Intel does not provide Vista drivers for.

You can try and it may work but you will probably run into problems. Tell us how it goes.
