Question from Mickey Puri: Asked on 15/07/2008 Hi, I wanted it as a development machine to run Visual Studio 2005. That appears to have issues with Vista, and needs XP Pro as the OS. Are you able to provide it with a downgraded OS of XP Pro, and what type of XP Pro? Would the XP Pro be able to use the full 4GB of memory?
Question from Grant: Asked on 04/07/2008 I recently bought one of these beasts from you chaps and must say I am fully impressed so far. I use it to design with Autodesk Inventor, but seem to be having a driver issue. Would you be able to recommend a good website where I can find the very latest driver for the 9500M GS?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
