Don't upgrade to Vista.
Also, you can't upgrade unless you have an external drive(just making sure you know), or make a usb bootable ISO.

I think you should upgrade to linux instead, and have a linux netbook. Just what I would do. It would run much smoother and such.

But then again there's the compatibility issue, and I'm assuming you're a Windows user? In which case just stick with the XP it has.

I also recommend Tigerdirect, as you can get an extended warranty and stuff I think. If not you have a manufacturers warranty(well, I'm fairly sure you do).

well if i dont want to upgrade i dont have to. its just an option. and yea if i upgrade i either have to use flash drive an external hd. or a sd card. i havent used linux before so yea im not sure. yes ive been a windows user all my life. and the extra waranty is quite a bit expensive. im on a budget here unless i save or sell something

Get the one from newegg.


Oh and btw, Limewire is only going to slow your netbook down incredibly and Limewire is essentially a virus, don't get it.

I recomend tiger direct because of the killer warranty that it has on notebooks. If something happens to it any thing from spilling soda on it to running it over your  covered. It is pretty intense, Tiger driect ftw

Trust me. Limewire and Limewire pro are bad for your computer/lappy.

They're essentially viruses, they don't uninstall.

And you only posted 1 link to newegg..
