[scannerman96]

Want to get the  Link Edit Acer Aspire AS7520-5311 NoteBook AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58(1.90GHz) 17.0" Wide XGA+ 2GB DDR2 667 160GB DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 8400M G - Retail from Newegg.

As you know you can't return the laptop.  I know someone on newegg just put the xpsp2c on his, but I can't seem to get in touch with him.  So if someone could give me some insight to how to do it.  My buddy said something about having sata drives for xp.  I asked acer, but they don't seem to tell you much over the email.

This is nice laptop and i would like santa to get it for me.  Please private email me at [email protected]

Thanks very much,

Looking at the link, it already has a Windows operating system on it.

Yes, you could, however, keep in mind, Windows XP is from 2001, its 6 years old, and not nearly as capable as Vista. Some drivers might be hard to find for a new laptop.

The system you linked to is more than capable of running Windows Vista.

Acer is one of the manuf. offering the "XP upgrade" option for some Vista machines...
Have you gone directly to their site to check it out ? ?

I agree.  It has 2GB of memory and a good Graphics Card for running Vista.  Why not get it as is and use Vista?
