I have two Dell laptops (Inspiron 1720 and 1420) Both came with Vista
Ultimate installed....... I down graded the 1720 to Winxp Pro, installed all
the drivers, and it works like a champ "Luv it".......
My question is: while looking at my used space on the 1720, (Winxp) it is
only 17GB... that's the OS and everything that I installed.
Looking at the 1420 (Vista ultimate) the used space is 34.4GB.. that's the
O/S and an exact mirror of what I installed on the 1720.. Is it a good
assumption that Vista requires almost twice as much space as Winxp.. No
wonder upon startup the 1720 is up and running almost immediately, while the
1420 lumbers along.........Disk cleanup/ Defrag, etc are done frequently..
Thanks for any response
Might as well downgrade the 1420 also!!
