The dabate is mainly to go with Windows or Leopard. I can't decide, and need help. State WHY you would choose one over the other and WHY it's better.

HP reccomends that on a laptop with 4GB RAM, that Vista 64-bit should be used opposed to 32-bit as you will get more performance out of the 64-bit OS. Why is this? And for $160.00 extra is it worth it to upgrade to 64-bit? There are still some drive issues with different software, I know, but is it a good idea to get the 64-bit?

Well, I really need a laptop for many numerous things. I will be going to college soon so I need a laptop that would be good for a student. I like music, and watching DVDs/playing games would be awesome (but this is mostly for school work). If it had a webcam it would be great! I want it to have a pretty long battery life and wireless internet. That is the most important part. For prices I think anything over $2,000 is too much? What should I look for! Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Occasionally, when I open the lid of my Inspiron 8500, the resolution has dropped to 800x600. Sometimes it will quickly change itself back, but other times it just stays that way. I have an ATI mobility radeon 9000 video card and I've tried updating the drivers. I've also read about other ppl fixing this problem by changing 'LidBehavior' keys in the registry, but I think this only works with Nvidia cards, b/c there are no such keys in my registry. Any ideas?

Well, I have Windows Vista Basic, but when I try to install it, it is suppose to give me two choices.

1."Upgrade" Keeps all files, programs, etc.
2. "New" Deletes everything and gives you a clean start to install on.

I want to "upgrade" it but it says that I need 6503MB free space on my C: partion or something like that in order to do this.

Can anyone tell me what that is and how to clear more space?

Thank you in advance,
