After looking up your model, it only supports a MAX of 160MB of RAM.  That's not enough to run Windows 2000 or XP and for it be relatively usable.  In addition, you will need several GB of free space to install.  I recommend you look into a new laptop, even Dell has ones that are only a couple of hundred dollars that are better and will cost the same as the upgrades you would have to consider on your current model.

Several possible reasons:\n\n1. Xp and only 256MB ram, 512MB is the bottom end to expect any performance.\n\n2. Low cache CPU such as a Celeron. 512k or 1MB cache will greatly increase the performance.\n\n3. Slow HD. Notebooks almost always use slower HD's but some vendors will use the slowest, cheapest they can find.\n\n4. Tons of useless startup crap that Dell or some other vendor decided you need. What all is running once your system is started? All that crap you see in the lower right hand corner all uses memory and resources.\n\n5. Support software which is running in the background checking for updates and ready to help you if the system crashes. Personally I will update my system when I want to and if it crashes more than once it's going back.

It depends on what kind of laptop. I know that many Dells at least can't be upgraded. The best thing to do is to go to your computer's manufacturer's website and look up the information there.

MCE = Media Centre Edition\nIt has a few more "bells and whistles" than regular XP ... but it is a lot more resource hungry meaning most comps that ship with MCE have 1GB Ram  .... if yours doesn't .... it will lag so get them to boost to 1GB\nThe Celeron Processor will let you down .... (the ram is fine) ... you need something with at least a Pentium M processor or better still a Core Duo Processor

Yes.  Because you will most likely be buying better components to put in it.  Dell (and the others) will cheat you on several components like the network card, motherboard and possibly the memory meaning that they will use the cheapest and not necessarily best performing components out there.\n\nYou will also be able to buy better components and build it yourself for cheaper than you could get a Dell and I'm not talking about the $300 systems.  If you were looking at a Dell XPS in the $2500 range you could probably build something better for around $1400 to $1700.

The Inspiron 700m, with Genuine Windows®  XP Media Center Edition 2005, is Dell's thinnest and lightest InspironTM  notebook, so it is perfect for students and people who travel frequently with their PCs. At 4.1 lbs and 1.5" thick, you can slip this notebook into a briefcase or satchel with your other papers and hardly notice the difference. And you'll be thankful for that when you're running to catch your bus.\n\nYou could also try the Dell 600m Inspiron.

I have a Inspiron E1505 and I use it everyday for everything. Searching the web, Instant messaging, and work. I use it alot for work. I also use it for school. This is not the first laptop I have had but I can tell you it is hands down my favorite! Get it and enjoy! I bought mine straight from Dell and I paid around the price you are paying!!\nAlso I own many gaming systems. I love video games!! When it's said it is not a gaming computer..I have absolutly no problems playing games on my computer.
